DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nI will describe research showing that the social de
 cisions we make (ranging from judgments of facial expressions to decisions
  about how to allocate resources in an economic game) are shaped by a comb
 ination of others’ behaviour and the emotions they express. I will argue
  that the process underlying this social influence is one of social apprai
 sal: our appraisals of the world around us are shaped by the way in which 
 others appraise it\, and their appraisals are inferred from their emotiona
 l expressions. Knowledge of others’ appraisals is especially likely to i
 nfluence judgments about ambiguous stimuli and decisions that involve comp
 etition between selfish and prosocial norms. Emotions therefore serve an i
 mportant interpersonal function by shaping other people’s social decisio
 ns. \n\nAntony Manstead has published widely on the topics of emotion\, at
 titudes and social identity. He is a former President of the European Asso
 ciation of Social Psychology\, and is a Fellow of the British Academy\, th
 e Academy of Social Sciences\, the Association for Psychological Science\,
  and the British Psychological Society. He received the BPS Presidents' Aw
 ard for Distinguished Contributions to Psychological Knowledge in 2004 and
  the EASP's Henri Tajfel Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008. He previously
  held academic positions at the universities of Sussex\, Manchester\, Amst
 erdam\, and Cambridge. He is currently Professor of Psychology at Cardiff 
 University.
