Are words just a tool to describe our inner states, or are they essential to shaping our very perception of the world?
You guessed it correctly! Language shapes our perception, crystallizing abstract concepts and drawing similarities from categories that are so different. Without a label, a butterfly in the stomach, a fluttering heartbeat, and an electrifying feeling would be all so different. But with a label, we can call these feelings toward our partners ?love.? In this project, we explore the use of language, specifically granular emotional words, to improve emotion regulation ability.
