Editing Contempt (section)

==Characteristics==
[[Paul Ekman]], a widely recognized psychologist, found six emotions that were universally recognized: anger, disgust, fear, joy, sadness, and surprise. Findings on contempt are less clear, though there is at least some preliminary evidence that this emotion and its expression are universally recognized.<ref>Ekman, P. & Friesen, W. V (1969).

In the 1990s, Ekman proposed an expanded list of emotions, this time including contempt.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Ekman|last2=Heider|title=The Universality of a Contempt Expression: A Replication|url=https://www.paulekman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/The-Universality-Of-A-Contempt-Expression-A-Replication.pdf|journal=Motivation and Emotion|volume= 12| issue =  3|pages=303–308|doi=10.1007/bf00993116|year=1988|s2cid=143817186 }}</ref>
