“…This research contributes by independently measuring and comparing the performance of iMotions's AFFDEX and FACET modules, and making the results publicly available for a broad audience. In general, there is support for the idea that automated facial expression analysis is technically feasible (e.g., Baltrusaitis et al, 2016;Bartlett, Hager, Ekman, & Sejnowski, 1999;Lien, Kanade, Cohn, & Li, 1998;Littlewort, Bartlett, Fasel, Susskind, & Movellan, 2006;Meiselman, 2016;Vallverdu, 2014). Moreover, it is evident that automated facial expression analysis (e.g., Noldus's FaceReader) can produce valid data for prototypical facial expressions that are recorded under standardized conditions (Lewinski et al, 2014;Littlewort et al, 2006;Valstar et al, 2011).…”
