dictionary.com or whatever definition of a word over published academic studies.
But fine, if that's what it takes....take greed. It in an of itself is not a state of mind, its a descriptor used to illustrate an overabundance of desire in a person. DESIRE is acceptable as an emotion (although that is heavily contended), but greed is simply by way of having too much desire. It's kinda like depression. Depression is when you have too much of the sadness emotion, but depression itself is not an emotion. Hope is optimism, it's an idea, not a state of mind. The idea that things will work out for the better. Love is also an idea and a construct of civilization. BECAUSE of love, you experience emotion, it itself is not emotion. Compassion, a.k.a. empathy, is also not an emotion. It's the ABILITY to feel emotion based on the circumstances of others. Again it, itself, is not an emotion.
