Docter first began developing Inside Out in 2010, after noticing changes in his daughter's personality as she grew older. The film's producers consulted numerous psychologists including Dacher Keltner from the University of California, Berkeley, who helped revise the story by emphasizing theneuropsychological findings that human emotions affect interpersonal relationships and can be significantly moderated by them.
