our mind is attuned: Transient feelings of fear also lead people to support more conservative policies toward immigration and terrorism. People who report more conservative attitudes on social issues tend to feel more fear in general, have more nightmares, and show a stronger startle response (an eye blink) when startled.

it is the five emotions: These ideas were part of a conversation Pete, Ronnie, and I had about sadness and its role in the film. Pete had begun thinking about the film in witnessing the sadness his own daughter showed as she entered adolescence, a time of surprising sadness as the ease and delights of childhood fade. Pete and Ronnie wanted the hero of the film to be the character of Sadness, but were getting pushback from the executive team, who thought sadness would be too depressing and discourage ticket sales. In that conversation, we talked about distinctions between sadness and depression; unlike sadness, depression is often flat, colorless, and devoid of passion and concern. We delved into the “inside” of sadness, how sadness slows life down, allows for reflection, and reorients us to what matters in life, given the loss we are facing. We considered the “out” of sadness, how tears bring others close to us. Pete and Ronnie prevailed and placed Sadness at the center of Inside Out.
