About Emotion Detective
Liability, Responsibility, & Guarantee
This game is an educational tool, not therapy or medical advice. It is created by Joyson Joy P, Clinical Psychologist, but using it does not create a therapist-patient relationship.
Liability & Responsibility: You (the user) are 100% responsible for your actions and decisions. The creator and publisher are not liable for any outcomes from using this tool. Use this at your own risk.
No Guarantee: This tool does not guarantee any specific social or mental health benefit. Real-life emotions are complex. This is a simplified practice tool only.
Theory: Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence (EQ) involves understanding and managing your own emotions, and recognizing and influencing the emotions of others. Accurately ‘detecting’ emotions is a foundational part of EQ.
Who Is This For?
This tool is helpful for anyone, including those on the autism spectrum or who identify as neurodivergent, who wants to practice:
- Identifying emotions in social situations.
- Understanding the impact of events on feelings.
- Developing empathy and social awareness.
- Navigating social interactions more effectively.
