Do proposed facial expressions of contempt, shame, embarrassment, and compassion communicate the predicted emotion?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shame, embarrassment, compassion, and contempt have been considered candidates for the status of basic emotions on the grounds that each has a recognisable facial expression. In two studies (N=88, N=60) on recognition of these four facial expressions, observers showed moderate agreement on the predicted emotion when assessed with forced choice (58%; 42%), but low agreement when assessed with free labelling (18%; 16%). Thus, even though some observers endorsed the predicted emotion when it was presented in a list, over 80% spontaneously interpreted these faces in a way other than the predicted emotion.

متن کاملEmotion Recognition in Simulated Social Interactions
Social context plays an important role in everyday emotional interactions, and others' faces often provide contextual cues in social situations.
