emotional contagion
interpersonal emotion regulation also shares links with other processes by which people come to influence others' emotions, such as emotional contagion, in which the emotions of one person are 'caught' by another person as a result of mere contact (e.g., if someone was having a terrible day, they might 'infect' their friends with their bad mood). similarly, the compulsion to tell other people about our emotional experiences (termed the social sharing of emotions) can also result in other people coming to feel what we feel. the difference between these processes and interpersonal emotion regulation regards the level of processing involved. interpersonal emotion regulation is a controlled process, whereby a person intentionally tries to change the way others feel. in contrast, emotional contagion is thought to be relatively automatic, engaged without conscious awareness, while social sharing is somewhat more conscious but typically lacks the intent to influence others' emotions.

moral questions tend to be emotionally charged issues which evoke strong affective responses. consequently, emotions likely play an important role in moral development. however, there is currently little consensus among theorists on how emotions influence moral development. psychoanalytic theory, founded by freud, emphasizes the role of guilt in repressing primal drives. research on prosocial behavior has focused on how emotions motivate individuals to engage in moral or altruistic acts. social-cognitive development theories have recently begun to examine how emotions influence moral judgments. intuitionist theorists assert that moral judgments can be reduced to immediate, instinctive emotional responses elicited by moral dilemmas.
