Hubs and Gateways: Last week we uncovered the Big Five Human Mindsets and showed how current emotions can predict future mindsets. This week we are going to reveal how and why people transition from mindset to mindset. Specifically, key things you will take away from reading this entry will be:
-
Which emotions work as stepping stones towards a happier and more positive state of mind.
-
That the things that makes you become happy are not the same as the things that help you stay happy.
Building a Roadmap of Human Emotion: THE BIG 5

Positive emotions. The size of nodes represents how common a given emotion is. The thickness of the edges is proportional to how often people travel between two given emotions.
Emotions are complicated, unpredictable and deeply personal. We feel them; we usually don’t think we can quantify them. Some people even claim that emotions are completely outside the sphere of what can be understood. After all, emotions are not perceived with the mind but instead felt with the heart, right?
But if we hope for technology that is more sensitive to human needs and interactions, we will need a more structured understanding of emotions. At Kanjoya, we’ve built a dataset that can finally take us there. For the first time, we’re uncovering the structure that underlies our disparate emotional experiences, and we’re doing it democratically and empirically — by learning from what real people really feel.
In a series of posts starting now we will walk through several insights we discovered while analyzing our dataset of emotion updates. In this first post we start by showing you how we discovered the big five human mindsets (not to be confused with the big five personality traits) and how your current emotion can predict your future.
