“…While many convincing training studies show only very small overarching effects (general mental abilities: Schmiedek et al 2010; face identity perception and recognition: Dolzycka et al 2014), because the ability to be trained is just an all too common ability used throughout life so often that everyday life has already maxed out individual capacity, emotion expression ability is presumably less often used and might still offer potential for improvement. Existing smartphone apps, such as Emotion Hero (Ven 2016) could easily be used as a blueprint to develop training apps for emotion expression ability and test this hypothesis.…”

Just as receptive emotional abilities, productive emotional abilities are essential for social communication. Although individual differences in receptive emotional abilities, such as perceiving and recognizing emotions, are well-investigated, individual differences in productive emotional abilities, such as the ability to express emotions in the face, are largely neglected. Consequently, little is known about how emotion expression abilities fit in a nomological network of related abilities and typical behavior. We developed a multitask battery for measuring the ability to pose emotional expressions scored with facial expression recognition software. With three multivariate studies (n1 = 237; n2 = 141; n3 = 123), we test competing measurement models of emotion posing and relate this construct with other socio-emotional traits and cognitive abilities. We replicate the measurement model that includes a general factor of emotion posing, a nested task-specific factor, and emotion-specific factors. The emotion-posing ability factor is moderately to strongly related to receptive socio-emotional abilities, weakly related to general cognitive abilities, and weakly related to extraversion. This is strong evidence that emotion posing is a cognitive interpersonal ability. This new understanding of abilities in emotion communication opens a gateway for studying individual differences in social interaction.

“…Becoming familiar with, engaging with, or 'tricking' AI systems are activities found in a few recent artworks. In Emotion Hero (2016), participants play a video game to train their emotional expressions as guided by the AI software, improving their score by practicing and continuously changing their emotional expressions [43]. In Machine Readable Hito (2017), an intentional performance of a range of facial expressions changes the outcomes of a classification process [32].…”

“Don’t Worry, Be Happy”: Resisting an AI Emotion Recognition System With a Smile

Don't Worry, Be Happy is an art performance which demonstrates the problematic nature of AI recognition algorithms when used as instruments of the law. The performance associates the use of AI recognition algorithms with the use of the notorious electric chair. Both technological tools were integrated into juridical systems before being fully understood and both mediate a direct contact between the body and the law. While AI based recognition and classification of faces can be used for the common good, they can also be dangerous when used to control and criminalize people. The artwork emphasizes the entanglement between the body and the machine and illustrates how a performative engagement facilitates a sense of agency when we are confronted with recognition algorithms.
