Abstract

One of the most important fields of political science in which emotions, roles and functions play a significant role is the field of "political leadership".With this interpretation, the present article, seeks to find out what is the relationship between emotions and political leadership? Resultes showed that both political leaders and followers, provide emotional inferences and reactions from the emotions expressed "as social information" and express appropriate behavior to those emotions. In this regard, political leaders in the face of crises, by recognizing the different dimensions of society and the
feelings of the followers, they try to control and manage the emotions, cognitive liberation, accumulation of exciting energies and finally mobilization of the followers, pursuing goals, securing national interests and finally overcoming crises.
