Hi, Your topic looks interesting! I'm doing facial expressions and whether they affect the emotions of others so I am going into emotional contagion as well as I think emotions can definitely influence others emotions. Is it possible if i can link your page to my book chapter? I'll post a link of a good article that goes into emotional contagion and its influences on group behaviour. Good luck with it! http://asq.sagepub.com/content/47/4/644.abstract Smith6 (discuss • contribs) 23:43, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I was wondering if research on 'counter-transference' may be interesting for you. From memory, it is a phenomenon between therapists and clients...And I am not sure if it is the same as emotional contagion and may be too complex, just thought of it as a suggestion. :D goodluck, I will be coming back to read more!

Hi, your topic sounds really interesting! Yawning is definitely contagious!! And would be interesting to see if girls catchups/coffee sessions are helpful in times of stress. I'm doing animals and emotion, maybe you could also mention how animals can change our emotions? eg dogs cheering us up when we get home? :) Belle Hughes (discuss • contribs) 04:19, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi! I almost did this topic. I always found yawns interesting but believe it or not I never even thought to look up an article about it. But here's an interesting one on how yawns are related to our capacity for empathy ie. yawns are more contagious when there's a higher level of social attachment. Hope it's useful: http://web.ebscohost.com.ezproxy1.canberra.edu.au/ehost/detail?sid=410223c1-80bd-495b-a2c4-a704039e4e14%40sessionmgr14&vid=1&hid=9&bdata=#db=a9h&AN=90071390Emily.Antonio (discuss • contribs) 04:46, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Ideas

Interesting topic! I think there would be a lot of information about emotional contagion and the influence this has on individuals acting 'out of character' the 'mass hysteria/group-think' thing. Maybe you could throw in reference to some works of literature and media. eg. George Orwell's 1984, or the TV series Black Mirror by Charlie Brooker might spark your interest. How can emotions directly motivate behaviour? What emotions are more persuasive/motivating than others? Is there an evolutionary explanation for emotional contagion? Does emotional contagion appear to be stronger in times of stress? eg. wartime, scarce resources etc.? Hope this helps! Best of luck! PatrickBateman (discuss • contribs) 04:37, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi

Emotional contagion in infants & children

Hi, not sure if you were intending to discuss that emotional contagion equally affects infants and children as much as adults but it might be something interesting to include as there is a lot research into the impact of parental affect on infants and children and its impact on their emotional development. I touch on emotional contagion in my chapter on Emotions in early childhood and have come across a number of references if you are interested and hope you don't mind if I link to your chapter. In particular Termine & Izard did a study in 1988 which showed emotional contagion between parents and 9mth old babies (Termine, N. T., & Izard, C. E. (1988). Infants' responses to their mothers' expressions of joy and sadness. Developmental Psychology, 24(2), 223.) which is in the UC library.

I'm interested to read more about the social impact of emotional contagion, are you specifically look at situations where an entire society might have been affected (Nazi Germany, communities during wartime, particular times of the year (eg Christmas) or as a response to some major event (a sporting victory, 9-11, the GFC) and how much influence the media might have.

Hi Vanessa, I'd be happy for you to link to my page and I would love to link to yours... I am discussing (briefly) how mimicry starts in childhood and its importance in development...

Thanks! Katie (TheDancingZebra (discuss • contribs) 21:50, 2 November 2013 (UTC))

HI Katie, I have linked to you and briefly referred to emotional contagion on my page. It looks like you are still editing your page so I'll pop back and review again as you add more but you've started well. Let me know if you need any help with formatting the last bits (references etc) VanessaQ (discuss • contribs) 22:35, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

HI Katie, well done, it reads really and looks good. I noticed your references had lost their italics (mine did the same which was why I knew to look) so I put them back in. VanessaQ (discuss • contribs) 04:32, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

References

Hi! what a wonderful topic you are doing!! I am writing on motivational contagion and in doing some research, came across a wonderful article about emotional contagion. It would definitely be worth a read as they highlight some key definitions!! I also think that motivational contagion and emotional contagion work well together, and may include a link where possible! Good luck with the rest of your chapter!!

Linking

Hi there,

I am doing the chapter on Smell and emotion and have linked your chapter as I discuss it briefly with respect to chemosignals. This might be something worth looking at for your chapter too?

Overall A great chapter! Well done for integrating theory and research throughout. Theory Theory is well identified and beautifully integrated into the chapter. A sound understanding of the concepts presented is demonstrated. To improve further, include more evidence of critical thinking throughout. Research Research is well presented and practically applied. Once again, critical thinking would improve the chapter. Written expression This chapter is well presented, and follows a clear and logical layout. APA is generally well done. To improve further, include more links and interactive features throughout.

If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener. If you wish to dispute the marks, see the suggested marking dispute process.

Overall This is a very creative and engaging presentation. However, remember that theory and research are required to be presented. Structure and content The flow of this presentation is good. Theory is described basically, but not enough information is provided here. There is also very little referring to key research findings. Communication The presentation is very engaging and creative - well done! Information is clearly presented through visuals, however no voice is used (see marking criteria). The use of illustrative examples would also improve the presentation. Production quality Picture and sound quality (music) are both clear, however no verbal communication is included. The production is very professional, and demonstrats great ability to use production tools. ShaunaB (discuss • contribs)
