Abstract

Compared with individuals experiencing emotional events alone when individuals share the same emotional event with others and share the same emotion. When one points to the emotional state of the target, the individual’s emotional experience will be enhanced. We define this phenomenon as group. Amplification effect of body emotion. This study investigated the amplification effect of group emotion through two experiments. The “evaluation confirmation amplification” model explains this phenomenon theoretically.

The results show that there are significant differences in the emotional scores of “anger and hatred” in the three situations, and the “anger and hatred” in the anger confirmation group is significantly higher than that in the single group. The occurrence of emotional “confirmation” process depends on whether individuals can realize and recognize the emotional state of others. Only when individual emotions are confirmed by others, their emotional experience will be enhanced, that is, the amplification effect of group emotions will be produced. The results of this study verify the amplification effect of group emotion to a certain extent, and preliminarily explore its generation mechanism.
