Carroll Izard
Carroll Ellis Izard (born October 8, 1923) is an American research psychologist[1][2][3] known for his contributions to Differential Emotions Theory (DET),[4][5] and the Maximally Discriminative Affect Coding System (MAX).[6] Differential Emotions Theory maintains that universally recognizable innate, basic emotions emerge within the first 2 to 7 months of post-natal life "without facial movement precursors",[7] and argues for congruence of emotional expression and subjective experience.[8] Izard also undertook empirical studies into the Facial feedback hypothesis according to which emotions which have different functions also cause facial expressions which in turn provide us with cues about what emotion a person is feeling.
In addition, Izard constructed a multidimensional self-report measure - the Differential Emotions Scale - currently in its 4th edition (DES-IV) that purports to measure 12 fundamental emotions universally discernible in the facial expressions of infants. The 12 subscales are labeled: Interest, Joy, Surprise, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, Contempt, Self-Hostility, Fear, Shame, Shyness, and Guilt. The DES-IV has been used extensively in both research and practice.[9][10]
Career
Chronologically, Izard's career was at Syracuse University, Vanderbilt University, and finally the University of Delaware. A festschrift was held at the University of Delaware in October 2012 to celebrate Izard's lifelong contributions to the understanding of human emotional development.[11]
