Social and cognitive determinants of coding of emotions in real and virtual space

Abstract

Results of research of coding of emotional states by children and teenagers in real interaction and its virtual analog are presented. Voluntary regulating mechanism of expression of emotions (simulation, suppression, masking) are allocated and their activity during the different age periods is empirically illustrated. On the basis of allocation of stages of formation of emotional saturation of Internet communication, the vector of development of ways of coding of emotions in virtual space is designated. Ways of modeling and using of Gif-animations as the main coding tool are shown. Social and cognitive determinants of ability to coding of emotions are designated and empirically proved. As the main social determinants are considered the sociocultural norms of expression of emotions, as the integrated cognitive determinants is considered the emotional intelligence.
