“…For relief we extracted the most common facial action unit – AU12 Lip Corner Puller ( Krumhuber and Scherer, 2011 ) which corresponds in iMotions to Lip Corner Depressor, and considered it as a facial reaction of relief. Emotion measurements do not depend upon a particular theory of emotion ( Coppin and Sander, 2021 ).…”

IntroductionIn forensic settings interviewers are advised to ask as many open-ended questions as possible. However, even experts may have difficulty following this advice potentially negatively impacting an investigation. Here, we sought to investigate how emotions and psychophysiological parameters are associated with question formulation in real time in an ongoing (simulated) child sexual abuse (CSA) interview.MethodIn a experimental study, psychology students (N = 60, Mage = 22.75) conducted two interviews with child avatars, while their emotions (anger, sadness, disgust, surprise and relief), GSR and heart rate (HR) were registered.ResultsFirst, we found that general emotionality related to CSA and perceived realness of the avatars was associated with stronger overall emotional reactions. Second, we found that closed (vs. open) questions were preceded by more facially observable anger, but not disgust, sadness, surprise or relief. Third, closed (vs. open) questions were preceded by higher GSR resistance and lower heart rate.DiscussionResults suggest for the first time that emotions and psychophysiological states can drive confirmation bias in question formulation in real time in CSA.

“…Irrespective of the question, which of these dimensions appears first, second, and last, and how they interact, these three dimensions can be used and have been used (subjective experience, physiology, and behavior) to characterize the emotional state of an individual. [22] for an alternative survey). On the first level, we distinguish whether these methods employ communication or observational techniques (upper or lower panel of Table 1).…”

For decades, the study of emotions has been the center of attention in research and practice. Based on relevant literature, this paper focuses on the subject of measurement, and provides a structured overview of common measurement tools by distinguishing between methods of communication and observation. Given the authors’ field of competence, presentation pursues a consumer behavior and food sciences perspective. Furthermore, the paper devotes attention to automatic facial expressions analysis technology which advanced considerably in recent years. Three original empirical examples from the authors’ range of experience reveal strengths and weaknesses of this technology.

“…23,24 Despite the differences in focus, there is more convergence between these two clusters than traditionally assumed. 25 Darwin and James already acknowledged the role of cultural influences in emotional responses. Furthermore, most evolutionarily grounded emotion researchers would agree that an emotional experience evolves not purely from the perception of an external cue 15 or bodily percept 19 but requires a form of appraisal.…”

Emotion regulation is essential to survive in a world full of challenges with rapidly changing contextual demands. The ability to flexibly shift between different emotional control strategies is critical to successfully deal with these demands. Recently, decision neuroscience has shown the importance of monitoring alternative control strategies.However, this insight has not been incorporated into current neurocognitive models of emotional control. Here, we integrate insights from decision and affective sciences into a novel viewpoint on emotion control, the Flexible Emotion Control Theory (FECT). This theory explains how an individual can flexibly change emotion-regulatory behavior to adapt to varying goals and contextual demands. Crucially, FECT proposes that rapid switching between alternative emotional control strategies requires concurrent evaluation of current as well as alternative (unchosen) options. The neural implementation of FECT relies on the involvement of distinct prefrontal structures, including the lateral frontal pole (FPl) and its connections with other cortical (prefrontal, parietal, motor) and subcortical systems. This novel account of emotion control integrates insights from decision sciences, clinical research, as well as meta-analytic evidence for the consistent FPl involvement during emotional control when monitoring of alternative emotional control strategies is required. Moreover, it provides novel, neurocognitively grounded starting points for interventions to improve emotion control in affective disorders, such as anxiety and aggression.
