How Can We Use Emotion To Get Social Information Of Others?


Mood which gives an information about our self whereas emotional expressions give information about observers also may give their behaviour. We can infer human behaviour in two ways

  • 1) By judging (Inferential way)  
  • 2) By Emotion (Affective reaction way).
As we all know Emotion varies according to situation-to-situation. Basically, there are three types of emotion we generally showcase on our face 1)Happiness 2)Anger 3)Sadness. According to the above reaction, people can judge our behaviour or they can know what's happens inside our mind. This is how people can infer the information about our behaviour afterwards then s/he starts behaving according to that information. In general inferential way used to in the negotiation process. Where negotiator and opponent both of them try to gather information about each other.
In affective reaction observer directly get to know expresser reaction by on face and another way is an interpersonal way to express emotion.
Let's again take an example of a negotiation process,
If negotiator display anger on his face then the opponent dislike him and sometimes negotiator also dislike his own self, as well as the opponent less willing to meet again. If negotiator counters the reaction with happiness when the opponent shows anger then opponent want's see him again also he like a negotiator. The same scenario happens with a project leader that you could be imagined..!!
We have seen the behavioural and emotional expression both predicted by the above process. Actually, these processes interlink with each other in a different way. Both reactions can use during motivating the opposite behaviour people. or the person gives help to others with sympathy. The only factor effect on the process is that social relationship. If your social relationship is good then an only you predict the behaviour and emotion of that person.
If a person practices a lot to infer the information from emotion and behaviour reaction then his/her prediction power getting increases. If a person just infers the information then his/her Affective power getting increases. A research told that the person having the low inferring power that can be a good motivator.
