Reposted by Logic of Emotion LabErik Nook 🏳️🌈 @eriknook.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Ever wondered why we sometimes 'catch' another person's anxiety even after a brief interaction?

Logic of Emotion Lab @logicemotionlab.bsky.social · 02/12/2024New Paper! Adults differ in their ability to generate emotion and non-emotion words, but how these develop is unclear.
