Empathy, Evolution of
Advanced forms of cognitive empathy grow out of more elementary forms of emotional empathy, both evolutionarily and developmentally. Core emotional empathy involves original, prelinguistic forms of inter‐individual linkage observed in communicative behaviors even in early life forms. Strong emotional bonds underlying emotional empathy were associated with changes in sexuality and appeared early in the hominin line. In modern humans, primary inter…
Measuring emotional and cognitive empathy using dynamic, naturalistic, and spontaneous emotion displays
Most measures of nonverbal receiving ability use posed expressions as stimuli. As empathy measures, such stimuli lack ecological validity, as the participant is not actually experiencing emotion. An alternative approach uses natural and dynamic displays of spontaneous expressions. The Communication of Affect Receiving Ability Test (CARAT) uses as stimuli spontaneous facial expressions and gestures filmed by an unobtrusive camera of solitary parti…
Emotion, media, and the global village
Robert Plutchik (1927-2006)
The dimensionality of the verbal aggressiveness scale
Infante and Wigley's (1986) Verbal Aggressiveness Scale (VAS) is a widely accepted and frequently used measure of trait verbal aggression. Although the scale is almost always scored as if it were unidimensional, previous factor analytic studies provide evidence that it is multidimensional with two distinct factors. The present studies (N = 194 and 177) used confirmatory factor analysis to replicate the two‐factor solution. The two‐factor model wa…
Verbal and Nonverbal Communication
Verbal and nonverbal communication are seen in terms of interacting streams of spontaneous and symbolic communication, and posed “pseudo-spontaneous” displays. Spontaneous communication is defined as the nonintentional communication of motivational-emotional states based upon biologically shared nonpropositional signal systems, with information transmitted via displays. Symbolic communication is the intentional communication, using learned, socia…
Affect, Reason, and Persuasion Advertising Strategies That Predict Affective and Analytic-Cognitive Responses
Presents a study of responses to advertisements in order to provide insights into the interplay of affective and analytic-cognitive aspects of the persuasion process
The neuropsychology of communication
Interpersonal Expectations
This 1993 volume brings together critical analysis of the phenomenon called interpersonal expectation - a sub-area of social psychology that studies how the expectations of one person affects the behavior of another in an interactive setting. The book is divided into three major sections: the first examines real-world applications of research on interpersonal expectations, such as in the courtroom, classroom, and operating room; the second consid…
Social facilitation and inhibition of emotional expression and communication
Epistemological fundamentals
Relative contributions of expressive behavior and contextual information to the judgment of the emotional state of another
This study used a technique for assessing the relative impact of facial-gestural expressions, as opposed to contextual information regarding the elicitor and situation, on the judgment of emotion. In Study 1, 28 undergraduates rated videotapes of spontaneous facial-gestural expressions and separately rated the emotionally loaded color slides that elicited those expressions. The source clarities of the expressions and slides were matched using cor…
Nonverbal Communication
A social relations analysis of nonverbal communication accuracy in married couples
This paper presents a reanalysis of a study (Sabatelli, Buck, & Drever, 1982) that related nonverbal communication accuracy in married couples to marital complaints, using the social relations model developed by Kenny and his colleagues The social relations model allows for the analysis of the communication process in a new and more complete way where, for the first time, the relative contributions of sender, receiver, and unique relationship eff…
Cognitive style and relationship quality in married dyads
Recently, cognitive personality researchers have begun to explore the social and interpersonal relevance of cognitive individual difference variables. Embedded in these examinations, however, is a methodological issue that bears importantly on our understanding of the role of these cognitive orientations in social relations. Specifically, personality studies have typically employed experimentally created dyads which, by limiting the representativ…
Locus of control, interpersonal trust, and nonverbal communication accuracy
Nonverbal communication accuracy in married couples
Nonverbal communication abilities were examined as mediators of martial complaints for a sample of 48 recently married couples. Based on social penetration theory, we predicted that couples cohabiting longer would be better at decoding their partners' nonverbal expressions than couples cohabiting a shorter time, that individuals married to accurate nonverbal communicators would evidence fewer martial complaints, and that individuals with fewer ma…
Temporal organization of spontaneous emotional expression
Unitization of spontaneous nonverbal behavior in the study of emotion communication
Videotapes of spontaneous facial and gestural reactions to affective slides were segmented by observers using a group adaptation of Newtson's unitization technique. In Experiment 1, 46 females and 35 males segmented the expressions of a variety of children and adults; in Experiment 2, 50 males segmented the expressions of high- versus low-expressive male and female senders. Results demonstrated that the unitization technique applied to emotion ex…
Nonverbal behavior and the theory of emotion
The facial feedback hypothesis, that skeletal muscle feedback from facial expressions plays a causal role in regulating emotional experience and behavior, is an important part of several contemporary theories of emotion. A review of relevant research indicates that studies reporting support for this hypothesis have, without exception, used within-subjects designs and that therefore only a restricted version of the hypothesis has been tested. Also…
Measuring Individual Differences in the Nonverbal Communication of Affect
This paper describes the slide-viewing paradigm for measuring nonverbal sending accuracy—the spontaneous tendency to display communicative nonverbal behavior— and nonverbal receiving ability—the ability to accurately decode such behaviors when they occur in others. Sending accuracy has been measured in adults, preschool children, and brain-damaged patients, and suggestive relationships have emerged between sending accuracy and gender, personality…
Nonverbal communication of affect in preschool children
A slide-viewing paradigm measuring the tendency to communicate accurate nonverbal messages via spontaneous facial expressions and gestures was applied to 13 male and 11 female preschoolers (aged 4-6 years). The children watched 16 emotionally loaded color slides while, unknown to them, their mothers viewed their reactions via television. The children's skin conductance (SC) was monitored during the experiment, and they had been rated by two teach…

Nonverbal communication of affect in children
A paradign was tested for measuting the tendency of children to send accurate nonverbal signals to others via spontaneous facial expressions and gestures. This paradign was derived from studies on adults that suggest that women are more accurate nonverbal "sendres" than men in certain situations. Eighteeen male and 11 female preschoolers (aged 4 to 6 years) watched a series of emotionally loaded color slides while they were observed via a hidden …
Sex, personality, and physiological variables in the communication of affect via facial expression
Senders viewed 25 emotionally loaded color slides. Their facial expressions were observed via a hidden television camera by observers who made judgments about the nature of each slide and the sender's reaction to it. A total of 64 undergraduates were arranged in eight pairings each of females sending to male observers, females sending to females, males sending to males, and males sending to females. Statistically significant communication was dem…

Behavioral and physiological response to the presence of a friendly or neutral person in two types of stressful situations
Simultaneous measures of physiological arousal and affiliativc behavior were taken while subjects waited for a threatening event. One hundred and twenty males were randomly distributed over a 2X2X3 design. Firstborn or later born subjects were threatened with shock (Tear) or with sucking on infantile oral objects (embarrassment). They waited either alone, with a supportive person, or with a neutral person. The major findings were: (a) embarrassme…
