چکیده
The facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) is a perceptual cue that affects the perception of psychological traits such as dominance. current research examined whether fWHR would impact dominance and emotional intensity when expressing emotions. In study one, we expressions (EFEs) modify visually perceivable by following specific pattern reflecting associated with basic EFEs. We found EFEs differed from neutral poses expected pattern: high (anger, disgust, happiness) increased fWHR, whereas low (fear, sadness, surprise) decreased fWHR. two, investigated manipulating (low, average, high) affect intensity. obtained influenced but its effect on was only present One social implication this individuals for which dominant emotions lead to increase their be perceived highly dominant. discuss could participate in development individuals' further researches are still needed determine interaction other factors.

Emotional facial activation induced by unconsciously perceived dynamic facial expressions.
Do facial expressions of emotion influence us when not consciously perceived? Methods to investigate this question have typically relied on brief presentation of static images. In contrast, real facial expressions are dynamic and unfold over several seconds. Recent studies demonstrate that gaze contingent crowding (GCC) can block awareness of dynamic expressions while still inducing behavioural...
متن کاملFacial width-to-height ratio relates to dominance style in the genus Macaca
Background. Physical, visual, chemical, and auditory cues signalling fighting ability have independently evolved in many animal taxa as a means to resolve conflicts without escalating to physical aggression. Facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR, i.e., the relative width to height of the face) has been associated with dominance-related phenotypes both in humans and in other primates. In humans, fa...
متن کاملUnconscious facial reactions to emotional facial expressions.
Studies reveal that when people are exposed to emotional facial expressions, they spontaneously react with distinct facial electromyographic (EMG) reactions in emotion-relevant facial muscles. These reactions reflect, in part, a tendency to mimic the facial stimuli. We investigated whether corresponding facial reactions can be elicited when people are unconsciously exposed to happy and angry fa...
متن کاملWithin-person variability in men’s facial width-to-height ratio
Background. In recent years, researchers have investigated the relationship between facial width-to-height ratio (FWHR) and a variety of threat and dominance behaviours. The majority of methods involved measuring FWHR from 2D photographs of faces. However, individuals can vary dramatically in their appearance across images, which poses an obvious problem for reliable FWHR measurement. Methods. ...
متن کاملGroup Facial Width-to-Height Ratio Predicts Intergroup Negotiation Outcomes
Past studies have found that the facial width-to-height ratio (FWHR) is associated with a range of traits and behaviors that are possibly important to dyadic negotiations. However, it is unknown whether the FWHR would have an impact on intergroup negotiations, which happen frequently and often have higher stakes in the real world. To examine this question, in the current study, we randomly assi...
