Emotion Inferences from Vocal Expression Correlate Across Languages and Cultures
Whereas the perception of emotion from facial expression has been extensively studied cross-culturally, little is known about judges' ability to infer emotion from vocal cues. This article reports the results from a study conducted in nine countries in Europe, the United States, and Asia on vocal emotion portrayals of anger, sadness, fear, joy, and neutral voice as produced by professional German actors. Data show an overall accuracy of 66% acros…

Decoding Emotions from Facial Expression: Recent Developments and Findings
While most research in the area of decoding emotions from facial expression has been devoted to the issue of whether emotions can be recognized from facial expression, whether some emotions are recognized better than others, and which factors foster or hamper decoding (cf. gender, cultural differences), less research has been devoted to the processes underlying decoding. Here, some aspects concerning this issue will be addressed, namely: can emot…
Bodily expression of emotion
The question whether body movements and body postures are indicative of specific emotions is a matter of debate. While some studies have found evidence for specific body movements accompanying specific emotions, others indicate that movement behavior (aside from facial expression) may be only indicative of the quantity (intensity) of emotion, but not of its quality. The study reported here is an attempt to demonstrate that body movements and post…
Evidence for universality and cultural variation of differential emotion response patterning
Sensitivity of persons with hearing impairment to visual emotional expression — compensation or deficit
The research examined whether subjects with hearing impairment would differ from normal hearing subjects in their ability to decode emotions from video stimuli (48 video takes in which two actors portrayed six different emotions). Studies in tactile and visual perception lead one to expect deficits, while there is also some evidence for compensation. Twenty‐six subjects with hearing impairment and 26 matched normal hearing subjects participated (…
Decoders' processing of emotional facial expression — a top‐down or bottom‐up mechanism
To date little evidence is available as to how emotional facial expression is decoded, specifically whether a bottom‐up (data‐driven) or a top‐down (schema‐driven) approach is more appropriate in explaining the decoding of emotions from facial expression. A study is reported (conducted with N = 20 subjects each in Germany and Italy), in which decoders judged emotions from photographs of facial expressions. Stimuli represented a selection of photo…
The robustness of communication of emotion via facial expression: Emotion recognition from photographs with deteriorated pictorial quality
This study The studies reported here were conducted within the TELEMED project which is funded by the European Community within the RACE program. examines whether the recognition of emotion from facial expressions is impaired by deterioration of spatial resolution, contrast resolution, and picture size. Eighty judges rated 65 stimuli under 11 conditions: Undistorted, reduced spatial resolution (three steps), reduced contrast resolution (three ste…
Stress specificities: Differential effects of coping style, gender, and type of stressor on autonomic arousal, facial expression, and subjective feeling
In this study several factors considered to be relevant in mediating stress arousal were experimentally manipulated. Ss selected for the coping styles anxiety denying, low anxiety, and high anxiety were confronted with both low- and high-arousal-inducing situations, using 2 different types of stressors (cognitive vs. emotional) in each case. Arousal reactions were measured in 3 response modalities: verbal report of subjective experience; nonverba…
Emotion and economic development — Data and speculations concerning the relationship between economic factors and emotional experience
While proponents of biological theories of emotion claim the existence of universal emotion and expression patterns, recent theories stress cognitive appraisal mechanisms as elicitors of emotion, thus suggesting the influence of cultural and social factors on emotional experience and emotional expression. Data from a large‐scale questionnaire study with about 2400 respondents in 30 countries allowed us to test that notion in part. In this study, …
Antecedents of and Reactions to Emotions in the United States and Japan
In this study, we examined the degree of cultural similarity and specificity in emotional experience by asking subjects in the United States and Japan to report their experiences and reactions concerning seven different emotions. The data used for this study were part of a larger cross-cultural study of emotion antecedents and reactions involving more than 2,000 subjects in 27 countries (Wallbott & Scherer, 1986). The American-Japanese comparison…
Cues and channels in emotion recognition
This article addresses methodological issues pertinent to judgment studies in nonverbal communication research, in general, and to the perception and attribution of emotions, in particular. We investigated which behavioral cues are used in portraying various emotions and to what extent the channel of presentation and encoding differences between actors affect judgment accuracy. In an encoding study the nonverbal behaviors of 6 different actors (3…
