Explanation:
In psychology and related fields, emotions are commonly classified into two main categories: basic and complex. In this way, the first category includes emotions such as anger or fear that are innate and are the result of evolution, which means they have a biological component.
On the other hand, complex emotions such as regret or grief involve the combination of multiple emotions and require self-reflection and evaluation. This implies, complex emotions are not innate but emerge from the awareness about oneself and the analysis of situations, actions, etc. For example, grief is the result of reflecting on the person that has been lost and acknowledging one's emotions about the loss. Thus, complex emotions require an understanding of the self.
