人际交往充满了情感交流。在这些交流中，关于互动伙伴的情绪状态的信息只是传达的一种信息。此外，情绪显示器提供关于交互伙伴的处置和情境的信息。也就是说，情绪作为社会信号。认识到情绪的这一作用，本特别部分汇集了一些研究，说明了如何从情绪表现以及通过背景调节这一过程中获得人的感知和情境理解。三个贡献集中在表达者和他们的意图的信息。另一篇文章侧重于情感表达对观察者对社会情境的理解的信息价值，另一篇文章阐明了情境决定情感的社会影响的方式。最后，最后一篇文章提出了情感相互影响的动态本质。为了整合这些贡献并为未来的研究提供镜头，这篇社论提供了一个社会感知的语境化模型，它不仅试图系统化情感表达所能传达的信息类型，而且还阐述了语境的概念。
Human interactions are replete with emotional exchanges. In these exchanges information about the emotional state of the interaction partners is only one type of information conveyed. In addition, emotion displays provide information about the interaction partners' disposition and the situation as such. That is, emotions serve as social signals. Acknowledging this role of emotions, this special section brings together research that illustrates how both person perception and situational understanding can be derived from emotional displays and the modulation of this process through context. Three contributions focus on information about expressers and their intentions. An additional article focuses on the informative value of emotional expressions for an observer's construal of social situations and another article exemplifies the way context determines the social impact of emotions. Finally, the last article presents the dynamic nature of mutual influence of emotions. In an attempt to integrate these contributions and offer lenses for future research, this editorial offers a contextualised model of social perception which attempts to systematise not only the types of information that emotion expressions can convey, but also to elaborate the notion of context.
