ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Carroll Izard

Carroll Izard is a very smart person who studies feelings and emotions. Just like how you feel happy when you get a new toy or sad when your friend moves away, people have all sorts of different feelings and emotions.

Carroll Izard wanted to learn more about these feelings and emotions, so she asked a lot of people how they felt and then she studied what they said. She found that there were many different feelings and emotions that people could have, like happiness, sadness, anger, and fear.

She also discovered that some feelings and emotions were more important than others. For example, feeling loved and secure are very important feelings for people to have, while feeling angry or scared all the time are not so good.

Carroll Izard’s studies helped us learn more about how feelings and emotions work, and how we can have healthy and happy emotions.
