  • Processing of Facial Expressions of Negative Emotion in Alexithymia

    Open AccessPhilippa D Parker, Kenneth M Prkachin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2005

    Alexithymia, a characteristic involving a limited affective vocabulary appears to involve three components: difficulty identifying feelings, difficulty describing feelings, and externally oriented thinking. There is evidence that alexithymic characteristics are associated with differences in emotion information‐processing. We examined the role of temporal factors in alexithymic emotion‐processing deficits, taking into account the confound between…

  • The expression and perception of facial emotion in alexithymia

  • Observer judgments of acute pain

    We provided a microanalytic description of facial reactions to a series of painful and nonpainful electric shocks and examined the impact of these as discrete facial cues for observer judgments of acute pain. Thirty female volunteers were videotaped and reported their discomfort in response to electric shocks after earlier exposure to one of three social influence conditions: a tolerant model, an intolerant model, or neutral peer presence. We cod…

  • Social modeling influences on sensory decision theory and psychophysiological indexes of pain

    Kenneth D Craig, Kenneth M PrkachinARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1978Cited by: 3

    Subjects exposed to social models dissimulating tolerance or intolerance generally exhibit matching behavior in their verbal ratings of painful stimulation. It has been unclear, however, whether these changes reflect voluntary alteration of evidence or genuine changes in distress. This study used alternative measures and controlled for methodological limitations of earlier studies by examining nonpalmar skin potential in addition to palmar skin c…
