==Description==
==Description==
In the case of uncertainty, expectation is what is considered the most likely to happen. An expectation, which is a [[belief]] that is centred 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. 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.
