We investigate the influence of counsellors' state of emotions on their emotion perception through annotation agreement of emotions in text. Selected counsellors were tasked to annotate sample corpora from International Survey on Emotion Antecedents and Reactions (ISEAR), and students' life stories. We explore the intra and inter-counsellors' annotation agreements of emotions in the corpora during several annotation sections. The results show strong intra-counsellors' annotation agreement of emotions in both corpora, whereas the inter-counsellors' annotation agreement yielded weakly in both corpora. Results also show that counsellors' emotions vary and influence their decisions when analysing emotions in text.
