ABSTRACT

In this study, we hypothesized that the emotional cues of conveyer’s body posture play a role in eliminating ambiguity of facial expressions. The participants were presented with faces with emotionally congruent and incongruent body posture or without a posture (no-context) for a brief time (33 ms) in Experiment 1. The results showed that congruent pairs led to higher accuracy of facial emotion perception compared with incongruent pairs and no-context condition. On the other hand, angry, sad and disgusted emotional facial expressions were blended to create emotional ambiguity in Experiment 2, and the results partially supported the hypotheses where the context effect emerged in ambiguous anger–disgust morphs but not in unambiguous facial expressions. Thus, incongruent emotional cues in body posture have an interfering effect on the perception of emotional facial expression without awareness.

摘要

在这项研究中，我们假设传送者的身体姿势的情绪暗示在消除面部表情的歧义中起作用。在实验1中，在短时间内（33毫秒）向参与者展示了具有情感上一致且不一致的身体姿势或没有姿势（无上下文）的面孔。结果表明，与之相比，一致对可以提高面部情感感知的准确性。不一致的对和无上下文条件。另一方面，在实验2中，将愤怒，悲伤和厌恶的情绪面部表情混合在一起以创建情绪歧义，结果部分支持了假设，即上下文的影响出现在模棱两可的愤怒-厌恶形态中，而没有出现在明确的面部表情中。从而，
