<p>In this article, we undertake an empirical examination of the psychology what is often called “the angry citizen,” highlighting <em>ressentiment</em> as important emotional mechanism grievance politics. Contrary to short?lived, action?prone emotion anger proper, transmutes inputs politics like deprivation opportunity, injustice, shame, humiliation, envy, and inefficacious a...

Angry faces are perceived as more masculine by adults. However, the developmental course and underlying mechanism (bottom-up stimulus driven or top-down belief driven) associated with the angry-male bias remain unclear. Here we report that anger biases face gender categorization toward "male" responding in children as young as 5-6 years. The bias is observed for both own- and other-race faces, ...

The study aimed to examine the behavioral and neural correlates of facial emotion recognition in a non-clinical group 13 young female students with single Panic Attacks (PA) compared 14 matched healthy controls. Subjects were asked recognize angry, fearful, happy, disgusted, sad surprised faces, reaction time Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) recorded. Significant between-group differences not fo...

While some models of how various attributes of a face are processed have posited that face features, invariant physical cues such as gender or ethnicity as well as variant social cues such as emotion, may be processed independently (e.g., Bruce and Young, 1986), other models suggest a more distributed representation and interdependent processing (e.g., Haxby et al., 2000). Here, we use a contin...

The facial action coding system (FACS) was used to examine recognition rates in 105 healthy young men and women who viewed 128 facial expressions of posed and evoked happy, sad, angry and fearful emotions in color photographs balanced for gender and ethnicity of poser. Categorical analyses determined the specificity of individual action units for each emotion. Relationships between recognition ...

Findings of 7 studies suggested that decisions about the sex of a face and the emotional expressions of anger or happiness are not independent: Participants were faster and more accurate at detecting angry expressions on male faces and at detecting happy expressions on female faces. These findings were robust across different stimulus sets and judgment tasks and indicated bottom-up perceptual p...

Social interactions enhance human memories, but little is known about how the neural mechanisms underlying episodic memories are modulated by rewarding outcomes in social interactions. To investigate this, fMRI data were recorded while healthy young adults encoded unfamiliar faces either a competition or control task. In task, participants opponents' rock-paper-scissors game, where trial-by-tri...

This article presents a new method to create maps that chart changes across a cinematic narrative. These are unlike narrative spaces previously discussed in the literature—they are abstract, holistic, dynamic representations based on objective criteria. The analysis considers three films (All About Eve, Inception, and MASH) by counting the co-occurrences of main characters within scenes, and 12...
