échelle d'humeurs


Explanation:
Il serait intéressant de tenir compte des nuances de sens entre "émotions" et "humeurs". Les textes sur Mood Elevator abondent et le sens des textes semble orienter vers "les humeurs". "échelle d'humeurs" me semble d'ailleurs plus naturel. "échelle des émotions" est envisageable aussi, mais les deux liens ci-joint suggèrent bien "humeurs".

Example sentence(s):
  • Une humeur : "Un état affectif déclenché de façon lente, d’intensité faible, de durée prolongée." Cathérine Belzung in Biologie des émotions
  • Une émotion : "Une réaction affective qui se manifeste par des troubles physiques (ressentis)" (Belzung)
