Emotional shift occurs when a therianthrope shifts due to a certain emotional state, usually an emotion like stress or anger. This shift usually occurs in conjunction with another type of shift. They are not much different from mental shifts, which can occur during any emotional state.
Shifts being triggered by various emotions have been discussed nearly since the beginning of the online community, specifically on AHWW in 1996. [1]
"Is there a specific emotional state that is connected to your shifting? I have noticed many seem to do it when they are angry, some when they are excited in any manner, others seem to be able to do it on command without emotion." [1]
