Abstract

This study investigated the effects of group membership and openness (presence or absence of a third party) on emotion sharing and relationship recognition in dyadic communication using a web experiment. Six hundred forty-six participants were presented with fictitious LINE messages and were asked to answer questions about their own emotions, their perception of the sender's emotions, and their perceived connection with the sender. The sender's group membership was manipulated, and the level of openness was manipulated by presenting messages as either individual or group chats. Results showed that group membership and openness did not affect emotion sharing. Still, attitude sharing was more promoted, and a stronger perceived connection with the sender was felt when participants shared emotions with the sender compared to when they did not. Furthermore, when the sender expressed a feeling of pity, other emotions were suppressed. These results suggest that emotion sharing contributes to maintaining relationships with others and that the content of expressed emotions may also affect emotion sharing.
