“…For the British sample, facial stimuli were exactly the same as those used in Study 1. For the subjects in Japan, 12 frontal images (size: 370 9 486 pixels) of Japanese female faces displaying a smile expression were selected from several databases (e.g., Matsumoto and Ekman 1988;Fujimura and Umemura 2018). All models were presented with direct gaze and on a plain background.…”

Social context and culture influence judgments of non-Duchenne smiles

Extant evidence points toward the role of contextual information and related cross-cultural variations in emotion perception, but most of the work to date has focused on judgments of basic emotions. The current research examines how culture and situational context affect the interpretation of emotion displays, i.e. judgments of the extent to which ambiguous smiles communicate happiness versus polite intentions. We hypothesized that smiles associated with contexts implying happiness would be judged as conveying more positive feelings compared to smiles paired with contexts implying politeness or smiles presented without context. In line with existing research on cross-cultural variation in contextual influences, we also expected these effects to be larger in Japan than in the UK. In Study 1, British participants viewed non-Duchenne smiles presented on their own or paired with background scenes implying happiness or the need to be polite. Compared to face-only stimuli, happy contexts made smiles appear more genuine, whereas polite contexts led smiles to be seen as less genuine. Study 2 replicated this result using verbal vignettes, showing a similar pattern of contextual effects among British and Japanese participants. However, while the effects of vignettes describing happy situations was comparable in both cultures, the influence of vignettes describing polite situations was stronger in Japan than the UK. Together, the findings document the importance of context information in judging smile expressions and highlight the need to investigate how culture moderates such influences.

“…The integration of categorical and dimensional perspectives has been useful for explaining the mechanisms that underlie the perception (Fujimura & Umemura, 2018) and expression (Mehu & Scherer, 2015) of emotions. Importantly, emotional experiences should be understood as complex, multi-dimensional, and dynamic processes (Keltner & Lerner, 2010).…”

LATEMO-E: A Film Database to Elicit Discrete Emotions and Evaluate Emotional Dimensions in Latin-Americans

Introduction: Film clips are the most used stimuli to induce diff erent emotional states. Objective: Identify, select, and evaluate a set of fi lm clips according to dimensionality and discreteness of emotions. Film experts suggested 437 fragments, but only 70 met the criteria to be included in the LATEMO-E fi lm-clip database. Study 1: The 70 fi lm clips were tested for their ability to induce disgust, anger, fear, sadness, amusement, tenderness, and neutral (n = 147 participants; mean age = 20.64 years, SD ±2.21 years). Results: A total of 28 fi lm clips presented adequate scores on intensity and discreteness. Study 2: A total of 28 selected fi lm clips were assessed again in a new sample of 106 participants (mean age = 20.96 years, SD ±2.45 years). Results: Anger and amusement fi lm clips were the most extreme in the valence and activation dimensions. Anger and fear fi lm clips were the most extreme categories in the intensity, certainty, and control dimensions. Conclusions: These stimuli were useful for inducing emotional states that can be judged from both the dimensional perspective of emotions and the basic emotions perspective. Evoked emotions could be diff erentiated according to cognitive patterns of evaluation that guide behavior in response to emotional stimulation.

Effects of Affctive Ambiguity on Emotion Regulation through Affect Labeling

Putting feelings into words, called affect labeling, has been shown to attenuate emotional responses. However, labeling ambiguous emotional states may reduce the emotion regulation effect because it is difficult to categorize such feelings. Conversely, it may prove more effective by reducing feelings of uncertainty. The current study aimed to investigate how affect labeling in affective ambiguity influences emotion regulation effects on the subjective intensity of feelings, skin conductance level, and skin conductance response. Participants were asked to rate the intensity of their feelings after being presented with images of clear facial expressions for the prototypical condition and morphed facial expressions for the ambiguous condition. In addition, participants assigned to the labeling group selected the emotion word that best matched their own feelings during the stimulus presentation. As a result, affect labeling increased skin conductance responses during presentation only in the prototypical condition, suggesting the possibility of different effects according to affective ambiguity. However, both subjective and physiological responses did not decline, contrary to previous research. We discuss the consequences and the experimental characteristics, and propose a direction for future research.
