Abstract
Understanding health from a global perspective –not only physical but also mental–, emotional well-being is key to achieve a complete state of health. Adolescence is a stage where many changes take place and in which emotions play a fundamental role. Therefore, emotional education acquires great importance in this period. To understand emotions, the first step is to have emotional awareness. In this sense, it becomes essential to have a vast emotional vocabulary because if one cannot name emotions, these emotions do not exist. Hence, this study consists of an analysis of this emotional vocabulary. The sample consists of 431 adolescents, high school students (14 to 18 years old). We analyzed the students' vocabulary using a standardized test that consists of writing in three minutes the maximum number of words that describe emotions. Once we drew the data, we carried out a statistical analysis through the SPSS.20 package, thus observing the significant differences between the different variables of the students. The main results show the number of written emotions is not very high. In addition, there are more words in the negative emotional families, and the sad family is the one with the most words written.
