In the case of [[uncertainty]], '''expectation''' is what is considered the most likely to happen. An expectation, which is a [[belief]] that is centered on the [[future]], may or may not be realistic. A less advantageous result gives rise to the [[emotion]] of [[disappointment]]. If something happens that is not at all expected, it is a [[surprise (emotion)|surprise]]. An expectation about the behavior or performance of another person, expressed to that person, may have the nature of a strong request, or an order; this kind of expectation is called a [[social norm]]. The degree to which something is expected to be true can be expressed using [[fuzzy logic]]. [[Anticipation]] is the emotion corresponding to expectation.
