Preferred term

nonconscious emotion  

Definition

  • It seems that people can be wrong about or unaware of many things, but at least they can be sure about their own emotions. Yet, psychologists challenge even that certainty and point out that one's emotional life can be a mystery, even to oneself. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Psychology; Nonconscious Emotion]
