“…Generally, facial emotion expressions are considered the first communication margin that, when accurately processed, can lead to an empathic response [12]. Importantly, the processing of emotion expressions is thought to be complemented by a vicarious emotional experience as a supportive mechanism of the observations [951].…”

Method ParticipantsBoys attending alternative short stay schools in Lancashire were recruited for participation in this study. Such alternative schooling was provided for youth who were permanently or temporarily expelled from their main stream school because of continuous disruptive behaviour. Three schools were contacted about this study for purpose of recruitment and all three agreed to take part. Head teachers of all three short stay schools gave their consent in loco parentis as target age range of youth was 11 to 16 years of age. In addition, and because most participants were still under the age of 16, information on the study was sent to the parents who then had a period of two weeks when they could opt out of the study. None of the parents objected, so each boy within the age range was approached individually by school staff to ask for their assent. In total, 52 boys were asked to participate across the three schools and 50 boys (98%) between the age of 11 to 16 (mean age=14.3; SD=1.2) agreed to participate. . In all samples, a similar factor-structure emerged with three factors (e.g., Uncaring, Callousness, Unemotional) loading on a higher-order CU dimension. Importantly, the total scores proved to be internally consistent in these samples (coefficient alpha .77 to .89) and they were related to antisocial behaviour, aggression, delinquency, various personality dimensions, and psychophysiological measures of emotional reactivity in ways consistent with past research on CU traits. The items were summed, excluding items 2 and 10. Total scores on the ICU could range between 0 and 66 with higher scores reflecting greater levels of CU traits. Self-report of Violent Delinquency. Participants reported on their violentdelinquency using eight items from the Self-Report of Delinquency Scale (SRD) [42].Participants were required to answer 'yes' (1) or 'no' (0) on whether they have engaged in violent behaviour against others (teachers, students or others) in the past (e.g. "Have you ever hit (or threatened to hit) a teacher or other adult at school?"). Specifically, items also asked about whether they were violent with the intent to harming others (e.g., " Have you ever attacked someone with the idea of seriously hurting or killing him or her?") or obtaining things (e.g., "Have you ever used force (strong-arm method) to get money or things from other students?")...

“…Although there exists some prior knowledge on how emotion spreads in groups (e.g. group members mimicking the leader's emotions), it has been noted in a comprehensive review of this literature that "controlled research on emotion contagion within groups is actually quite sparse" (Niedenthal and Brauer, 2012). In fact, the authors go further to indicate that this sparsity may be attributed to the difficulty of designing studies which can provide sufficiently rich data sets for analysis.…”

“…Large online social network data does provide us with a method of identifying and quantifying the dynamics of mood and emotion, but as indicated above (Niedenthal and Brauer, 2012), we have yet to understand the exact nature of how they interact with underlying social structures in a group or in a network. This paper is one such attempt, at identifying this relationship and examining it in the context of external events which act as "interventions" (see below).…”

Results from two studies on longitudinal friendship networks are presented, exploring the impact of a gratitude intervention on positive and negative affect dynamics in a social network. The gratitude intervention had been previously shown to increase positive affect and decrease negative affect in an individual but dynamic group effects have not been considered. In the first study the intervention was administered to the whole network.In the second study two social networks are considered and in each only a subset of individuals, initially low/high in negative affect respectively received the intervention as 'agents of change'. Data was analyzed using stochastic actor based modelling techniques to identify resulting network changes, impact on positive and negative affect and potential contagion of mood within the group. The first study found a group level increase in positive and a decrease in negative affect. Homophily was detected with regard to positive and negative affect but no evidence of contagion was found. The network itself became more volatile along with a fall in rate of change of negative affect. Centrality measures indicated that the best broadcasters were the individuals with the least negative affect levels at the beginning of the study. In the second study, the positive and negative affect levels for the whole group depended on the initial levels of negative affect of the intervention recipients.There was evidence of positive affect contagion in the group where intervention recipients had low initial level of negative affect and contagion in negative affect for the group where recipients had initially high level of negative affect.1

“…This mirrors a broader tendency where interest in preferred leadership styles has shifted away from the traditional view on the leader as an almost heroic figure concerned with hierarchy, toward a leader increasingly focused on relational sensitivity (Cunliffe & Eriksen, 2011;Glasø & Einarsen, 2006). Emotions are increasingly viewed as functional and adaptively useful (Frijda, 2000;Niedenthal & Brauer, 2012). For example, the concept of emotional intelligence has gained enormous researcher attention since the 1990s.…”
