Att förstå andras emotioner i givna kontexter: en studie om människors förmåga att predicera emotioner utifrån Appraisalteorin
(2022) PSYK11 20221Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- Our study was conducted to investigate how well people can identify other people's emotions from scenarios where no visual cues, nor too much background information was given. This was to simulate the conceptual context we are given in everyday life where much information is not present yet we make inferences about what other people's emotions might be. We constructed a survey with 24 fictitious short scenarios based on certain appraisal dimensions chosen from the Appraisal theory to represent a specific primary emotion. We further
investigated the connection between how well people performed and how much psychology studies they have completed, as well as how well they believed they performed. The results indicated that people perform...

The results indicated that people perform very well on identifying certain emotions more than others (happiness, anger and no emotion). Correlations between the ability to identify emotions and the confidence in identifying emotions were not significant. The results also indicated that the level of psychology studies did not predict confidence in identifying others' emotions.
Significant results showed that people who have completed more psychology studies performed better at identifying emotions, however future studies should be done to investigate the causal factors. (Less) - Abstract (Swedish)
- Vår studie genomfördes för att undersöka hur väl människor kan identifiera andra människors emotioner utifrån scenarier, där inga visuella signaler eller för mycket bakgrundsinformation gavs. Detta var för att simulera det konceptuella sammanhanget vi får i vardagen där mycket information inte är tillgänglig, men där vi ändå drar slutsatser om vad andra människors emotioner kan vara. Vi konstruerade en undersökning med 24 fiktiva korta scenarier baserade på vissa appraisaldimensioner, valda från Appraisalteorin, för att representera en specifik primär emotion. Vi undersökte vidare sambandet mellan hur väl människor presterade och hur mycket psykologistudier de har genomfört, samt hur väl de trodde att de presterade. Resultaten som... (More)
- Vår studie genomfördes för att undersöka hur väl människor kan identifiera andra människors emotioner utifrån scenarier, där inga visuella signaler eller för mycket bakgrundsinformation gavs. Detta var för att simulera det konceptuella sammanhanget vi får i vardagen där mycket information inte är tillgänglig, men där vi ändå drar slutsatser om vad andra människors emotioner kan vara. Vi konstruerade en undersökning med 24 fiktiva korta scenarier baserade på vissa appraisaldimensioner, valda från Appraisalteorin, för att representera en specifik primär emotion. Vi undersökte vidare sambandet mellan hur väl människor presterade och hur mycket psykologistudier de har genomfört, samt hur väl de trodde att de presterade. Resultaten som erhållits visar att människor presterar väldigt bra på identifiera vissa emotioner mer än andra (glädje, ilska och ingen emotion). Korrelationerna mellan den faktiska förmågan att identifiera andras emotioner och den självskattade säkerheten i identifieringen av dessa var inte signifikanta. Resultaten indikerade också att nivån av
psykologistudier förutspådde inte den självskattade säkerheten i att identifiera andras känslor. Signifikanta resultat visade att personer som har avklarat mer psykologistudier presterade bättre på att identifiera känslor, men framtida studier bör göras för att undersöka
orsaksfaktorerna. (Less)
