Are we truly mirrors of emotion? Studies of embodied emotion perception of outgroups
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current ‘embodied simulation’ approaches to emotion perception suggest that individuals classify another person’s emotions in a three-step process: (i) observers automatically mimic a target’s facial expression, (ii) this motor activation generates the corresponding emotion in the observer, and (iii) the observer attributes his or her current emotional state to the target. In this study, we argue that this ‘observer as mirror’ model is either currently incomplete or misleading. Results in an ingroupoutgroup emotion perception task suggest that embodied states can lead to ‘convergent’, ‘divergent’, or no changes to emotion recognition at all.

According to embodied simulation theories understanding emotions of others is fostered by involuntarily mimicking the perceived expressions, causing a "reactivation" of the corresponding mental state. Some studies suggest automatic facial mimicry during expression viewing; however, findings...

متن کاملSomatosensory Representations Link the Perception of Emotional Expressions and Sensory Experience123
Studies of human emotion perception have linked a distributed set of brain regions to the recognition of emotion in facial, vocal, and body expressions. In particular, lesions to somatosensory cortex in the right hemisphere have been shown to impair recognition of facial and vocal expressions of emotion. Although these findings suggest that somatosensory cortex represents body states associated...
