Gaming Emotions
One’s own emotions may influence someone else’s behavior in a given social interaction. If one believes this, s/he has an incentive to game emotions—to strategically conceal or misrepresent current emotions—in an attempt to influence her/his counterpart. In a series of three experiments, the authors investigate the extent to which people (1) conceal or inflate a current emotional state, (2) are willing to acknowledge their strategic actions, and (3) improve their financial wellbeing from emotion gaming.
