“…Specifically, we found a congruency effect with preceding expressions in Dutch observers. This temporal context effect on Dutch observers’ perception of nonintended emotion is, to some extent, consistent with previous findings that concurrent contexts (gender and job status) influence the perception of nonintended emotions from facial expressions in Western perceivers (Algoe, Buswell, & DeLamater, 2000). In contrast, Chinese observers’ judgments of nonintended emotions did not differ across preceding expressions.…”

Although perceivers often agree about the primary emotion that is conveyed by a particular expression, observers may concurrently perceive several additional emotions from a given facial expression. In the present research, we compared the perception of two types of nonintended emotions in Chinese and Dutch observers viewing facial expressions: emotions which were morphologically similar to the intended emotion and emotions which were morphologically dissimilar to the intended emotion. Findings were consistent across two studies and showed that (a) morphologically similar emotions were endorsed to a greater extent than dissimilar emotions and (b) Chinese observers endorsed nonintended emotions more than did Dutch observers. Furthermore, the difference between Chinese and Dutch observers was more pronounced for the endorsement of morphologically similar emotions than of dissimilar emotions. We also obtained consistent evidence that Dutch observers endorsed nonintended emotions that were congruent with the preceding expressions to a greater degree. These findings suggest that culture and morphological similarity both influence the extent to which perceivers see several emotions in a facial expression.

“…Rather than focusing on the speed and accuracy of emotion recognition, other studies have measured participants' self-report ratings of emotional male and female faces. When participants rated angry male and female faces in the context of a work based conflict scenario, raters perceived angry males as experiencing more anger than female faces (Algoe, Buswell, & DeLamater, 2000). These findings were interpreted in line with the stereotype account, though it is possible that structural overlap of sex cues and expression may also have played a role.…”

Objective: A significant body of work has now amassed investigating the interaction between facial cues of sex and emotional expression. For instance, studies have found that male/more masculine faces are perceived more easily as angry, while female/more feminine faces are perceived more easily as happy. Two key mechanisms have been proposed to explain this interaction: a visualstructural account, where the interaction emerges due to physical overlap between facial cues of sex and emotion, and a stereotype based account, where the interaction is driven by associations between men and women, and particular emotions. Previous work often remains silent in regards to the mechanism/s underlying this interaction. This article aims to provide an up-to-date review of the literature as this may provide insight into whether facial structure, stereotypes, or a combination of both mechanisms explains the interaction between sex and emotion in face perception.Method: The review brings together research on the interaction between emotional expression and sex cues using a range of different methods.Results: The existing literature suggests that unique influences of both structural overlap and stereotypes can be observed in circumstances where the influence of one mechanism is reduced or controlled. Studies sensitive to detecting both mechanisms have provided evidence that both can concurrently act to contribute to the interaction between sex and emotion. Conclusion: These results are consistent with a role of selection in the physical appearance of facial signals of sex and particular emotional expressions and/or the cognitive structures involved in recognizing sex and emotion.

“…News and World Report (2010) top 20 ranked schools were used for this study. Three schools that had female deans were precluded to avoid a gender confound, as prior research on the effect of gender on status and facial expressions of emotions has had mixed results (Algoe, Buswell, & DeLamater, 2000; Carney et al, 2005; Hall, Coats, & LeBeau, 2005; Kurzban, 2001). This selection process retained 17 male business school deans for use in the study.…”

The hierarchical face: Higher rankings lead to less cooperative looks.

In 3 studies, we tested the hypothesis that the higher ranked an individual's group is, the less cooperative the facial expression of that person is judged to be. Study 1 established this effect among business school deans, with observers rating individuals from higher ranked schools as appearing less cooperative, despite lacking prior knowledge of the latters' actual rankings. Study 2 then experimentally manipulated ranking, showing that the effect of rankings on facial expressions is driven by context rather than by individual differences per se. Finally, Study 3 demonstrated that the repercussions of this effect extend beyond the perception of cooperativeness to tangible behavioral outcomes in social interactions. Theoretical and practical implications of this phenomenon are discussed.
