Wikipedia: Emotions et statut social

Studies have found that when people recognize an expressed emotion, they tend to attribute additional characteristics to the person expressing that emotion (Halo effect).

A happy person, therefore is perceived warmly whereas

a sad person is perceived as weak and lacking ability

an agressive person is perceived as powerful and dominant.(Keltner, 1997).
