Emotions are one of the main types of human mental activity. They, like nothing else, betray our attitude to this or that event, phenomenon, object. With the help of them, we express our feelings and understand each other better. There are several ways to determine the emotional state of a person.

- - polygraph;
- - musical compositions;

Instructions
Step 1
By means of an EQ test. It was developed by American psychologists in order to determine the emotional tone of a person. Based on the test results, one can draw conclusions about the communication skills of an individual, as well as predict a person's behavior in a given situation.
Step 2
Using a device to determine the emotional state of a person - a polygraph, it is also a lie detector. The method is specific and is used in forensic practice, since it captures the slightest changes in the emotional state of a person and, with an accuracy of 90%, makes it possible to reveal whether a person is telling the truth or not. Scientists have found that when a person lies, this is accompanied by a change in his psycho-emotional state and various physical phenomena - increased blood pressure, sweating, increased heart rate. It is these changes that are recorded by the device.
Step 3
Musical way. It is well known that music affects the emotional state of a person; there is also an inverse relationship between the experienced emotions and what a person is listening to at the moment. However, this should not be confused with musical preferences. Observing what the person nearby is listening to, one can judge his mood. If we make the observation longer, then we can already talk about its general emotional background. By listening to music of a different nature, you can adjust the mood and emotional state of a person.
Step 4
Faces - Andrews and Leave Technique. The picture shows schematically faces with different emotions. The subject is asked to answer one question by choosing the appropriate person: "How do you feel about your life as a whole?"
Step 5
Pattern and color. It's no secret that color, like music, affects a person. Ask the subject to draw a small drawing in color. Pay attention to what colors were used for this, and what is drawn in the picture. Light, calm colors will tell you about the peaceful state of a person; bright, saturated shades correspond to an excited, active state; dark colors with a predominance of gray and brown correspond to a depressed mood.
