In this analysis, the two psychologists discuss the main theoretical perspectives and document the impact expressions of emotions have on other people's feelings, thoughts and actions, based on the results of empirical research. Together with Professor of Organisational Behaviour Stéphane Côté of the University of Toronto, Van Kleef has now published the first analysis of this increasingly influential stream of research on the social effects of emotions. Since scientists began to realise that, they have tried harder to understand how the way we express our emotions affects others. After all, people tend to get most emotional when interacting with others, and emotions are regulated by social norms, are expressed in social situations and affect others.
However, since the early 21 st century, more and more scientists have realised that emotions are inherently social. Therefore, in order to understand how people function, we must understand emotions,' says Gerben van Kleef, professor of Social Psychology at the University of Amsterdam's Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences, where research on human emotions is part of a long and distinguished tradition.įor a long time emotions were regarded as events taking place inside one individual, and the studies that were conducted tended to focus on how emotions manifested within such individuals. They shape our social relationships and affect our performance at work and how successful we are in our lives.
