This book is online for free at http://cnx.org/content/m43552/latest/ This book may help you describe your own moods and emotions. I discuss at length about how you could get into specifics about measuring emotion, pointing out you could assess all of the small emotions and factors and see how those played into the larger emotions and factors, and you could observe certain things which could make it easier to assess the emotions. I eventually reached the conclusion that the best way would be to do a good job of mood classification (which is then done in the second part of the paper).
