You can determine an emotion of a person through their body language. FBI said that the feet is the strongest point of the emotion of a person. However when it comes to interpreting the facial expressions, people with the same race tends to understand faster than with different race. And if you think the only expression humans have are being happy sad and angry, think again. Human can make up to 100 000 expressions. However, according to a study in 1980, there are eight primary innate emotions. These are happiness, acceptance, terror, astonishment, sadness, distaste and expectation. For example, a smile can mean anything. It could probably deceive, sarcastic, polite and etc. Other animals can also express emotions but only humans gape when they are astonished or surprised about something. 

Not only the body or the facial expression can suggest emotional states but also the type of clothes a person is wearing. For example, a woman is happy wear dress, heels and even put make up on. On the other hand, a miserable woman wears baggy shirts, jeans and slippers.
When you see someone sad, you feel sad yourself even though you're not in his or her situation. Surprisingly, emotions can be contagious. Do you remember when you watch a drama and you suddenly cry? It means that your feelings are being controlled of what you are watching. There are also colors that have the same emotional meaning to people. For example, reds and oranges are stimulating. 
In advertising, people also use psychology to trigger emotions. If an advertiser is able to connect the emotions to the brand that they are trying to make them buy, surely the consumers will think about purchasing one.
