Relief is a positive emotion experienced when something unpleasant, painful or distressing has not happened or has come to an end.[1]
Often accompanied by sighing, an exowhich signals emotional transition,[2] relief is universally recognized,[3] and judged as a fundamental emotion.[4]
In a 2017 study published in Psychology, relief is suggested to be an emotion that can reinforce anxiety through avoidance[5][6] or be an adaptive coping mechanism when stressed or frustrated.[7]
