Emotional Contagion Scale

The Emotional Contagion Scale is a tool used to measure how easily a person copies or "catches" the emotions of others around them. It assesses different levels of susceptibility to emotions like happiness, anger, fear, or sadness. Essentially, it helps understand how much an individual's feelings are influenced by their social environment. People with high scores tend to quickly absorb and mirror the emotions they observe, while those with lower scores are less affected. This scale provides insights into emotional awareness and social dynamics, which can be useful in personal development, workplaces, and mental health assessments.
