Objective: This research aimed to explore the words related to the subjects of “emotion” and “cognition” regarding their pleasant/ unpleasant, somatic/non-somatic and common/uncommon ratios in Farsi dictionaries (Moeen, Amid and Moaser).
Method: the sample under study comprised all entries in the mentioned dictionaries. These entries were investigated by three independent judges (all psychologists) for their descriptive and qualitative characteristics. The final judgements benefited from linguistic feedback produced by a specialist in this field.
Results: The target psychological components (emotion and cognition) in this study were significantly different from one another.
Conclusion: The findings will be theoretically discussed from psychological and cultural points of view.
