Abstract: Emotion-related longitudinal studies are rare in Nepal. This study aimed to track changes in various emotions, including basic and country related emotions, over four years. Data were collected from 286 individuals over four years in four time periods using the survey method. The data were processed in trend analysis and time series regression analysis. This trend study showed that basic emotions did not change consistently over time. Some country-related emotions like country pride and country love showed a consistent decline/incline. Moreover, anger toward leaders was also seen consistently rising. The conclusion is that tracking changes in basic emotions may not be useful in the future. However, tracking changes of country-related emotions can give insights to modify the government’s behaviors, programs, policies, and decisions.
