Question

Gino is in a great mood when he calls Mia. However, she is in a funk from a stressful day at work. After a brief chat Gino hangs up the phone feeling discouraged.

Answer 1

Answer:C) emotional contagion

Explanation:

Emotional contagion refers to how we get affected by other people emotions and behavior or how we spread out own emotions to other people. This can occur directly or indirectly. Emotional contagion can be crucial in personal relationships because it can enhance emotional synchrony between two people. Which is crucial for someone to feel sympathy for another person because it allows us to feel what someone feels at that moment.

However it may also be negative when you meet those people who are eager to feed their negativity to everyone around them cause you will always feel depressed when you are around them.

Gino got affected by Mia's bad mood probably because she shared everything about her bad day and Gino started to feel discouraged from all the talk that might have been negative.
