Study Notes
- Emotion expression serves the functional purpose of recognizing and communicating with others.
- Emotions are biological and natural responses to environments, people, and situations.
Historical Impact
- Darwin, Tomkins, Izard, and Ekman are significant historical figures in the study of emotion expression.
- Ekman and Izard's research indicates that basic emotions are universally recognizable across cultures.
Ekman's Cross-Cultural Research
- Ekman's research includes the development of the Facial Action Coding System (FACS).
- Ekman defined six (or seven) basic expressions.
- These include sadness, anger, fear, surprise, disgust, and happiness.
Facial Expressions Beyond Ekman’s Six
- The Duchenne smile is a facial expression that goes beyond Ekman's basic six.
- Emotions can be expressed through body language and vocalizations, not just facial expressions.
Cultural Variation
- Cultural variations exist in how emotions are expressed.
- There may be dialect differences in both the expression and recognition of emotions.
Gender Differences
- Gender differences appear in both the expression and perception of emotions.
Facial Feedback Hypothesis
-The facial feedback hypothesis is relevant to the study of emotion.
