Emotional cues to group hierarchy: Inferences about dominance- versus prestige-based hierarchies from members' emotional expressions
How social media influencers’ emotional expressions shape their popularity: The role of authenticity and appropriateness
The success of (social media) influencers hinges on their popularity. We investigated how critical perceptual (warmth, competence) and behavioural (engagement, electronic word of mouth) indicators of influencers' potential to gain popularity are shaped by emotional expressions in their posts. An initial correlational study tapping participants' actual experiences with real-world influencers revealed that influencers' emotional styles are effectiv…
A Motivational Account of Convergence in Emotion Expressions Within Groups: The Emotional Conformity Framework
Although convergence in emotion expressions within small groups is well documented, the motives that explain why members converge are rarely explicated. We approach expressive convergence from a conformity perspective and introduce the Emotional Conformity Framework, in which we posit that members match their groupmates’ emotion expressions because they are motivated to gain an accurate understanding of reality (informational conformity motive) o…
Culture Shapes the Distinctiveness of Posed and Spontaneous Facial Expressions of Anger and Disgust
There is a growing consensus that culture influences the perception of facial expressions of emotion. However, relatively few studies have examined whether and how culture shapes the production of emotional facial expressions. Drawing on prior work on cultural differences in communication styles, we tested the prediction that people from the Netherlands (a low-context culture) produce facial expressions that are more distinct across emotions comp…
Online Engagement Between Opposing Political Protest Groups via Social Media is Linked to Physical Violence of Offline Encounters
The rise of the Internet and social media has allowed individuals with different backgrounds, experiences, and opinions to communicate with one another in an open and largely unstructured way. One important question is whether the nature of online engagements between groups relates to the nature of encounters between these groups in the real world. We analyzed online conversations that occurred between members of protest groups from opposite side…
Emotional expressions as social signals of rejection and acceptance: Evidence from the Affect Misattribution Paradigm
On the social influence of emotions in groups: Interpersonal effects of anger and happiness on conformity versus deviance
How do emotional expressions of group members shape conformity versus deviance in groups? We hypothesized that angry and happy responses to a group member's deviating opinion are interpreted as signals of imminent rejection versus acceptance. In 5 studies, the majority's expressions of anger led the deviant individual to feel rejected, whereas expressions of happiness made the deviant feel accepted. Because conformity can be seen as strategic beh…
Prosocial norm violations fuel power affordance
Emotion is for influence
Functional approaches to emotion are rapidly gaining in popularity. Thus far the functions of emotions have been conceptualised and studied mainly at the intrapersonal level of analysis, the key question being how individuals are influenced by the emotions they experience. Relatively little is known about the interpersonal effects of emotions; that is, how one person's emotions influence other people's cognitions, attitudes, and behaviours. We pr…
