Join the roomEn el caso de incertidumbre, la expectativa es lo que se considera más probable que ocurra. Una expectativa, que es una creencia centrada en el futuro, puede o no ser realista. Un resultado menos ventajoso da origen a la emoción de decepción. Si algo sucede que no se esperaba en absoluto, es una sorpresa. Una expectativa sobre el comportamiento o el desempeño de otra persona, expresada a esa persona, puede tener la naturaleza de una solicitud fuerte o de una orden; este tipo de expectativa se llama una norma social. El grado en el que algo se espera que sea verdadero puede expresarse usando lógica difusa. La anticipación es la emoción correspondiente a la expectativa.
“I have known him [Micawber] come home to supper with a flood of tears, and a declaration that nothing was now left but a jail; and go to bed making a calculation of the expense of putting bow-windows to the house, "in case anything turned up," which was his favorite expression.”
“He was fash and full of faith that "something would turn up."”
“ἐὰν μὴ ἔλπηται ἀνέλπιστον, οὐκ ἐξευρήσει”
“He hath indeed better bettered expectation than you must expect of me to tell you how.”
“Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate.”
“Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes.”
