Nonverbal Behaviour in Football: A 3D Pose-Based Analysis of Player Expressions and Observer Perceptions
Nonverbal behaviour (NVB) is a critical component of human communication, particularly in high-stakes, naturalistic settings such as sport. Despite advances in computational analysis, the extent to which objectively computable NVB features reflect subjective human judgments remains unclear. In this study, we present the inaugural investigation into the correspondence between computable NVB indicators and observer perceptions in the context of eli…
Signaling Physical Exertion. Can Observers Detect Physical Exertion from Athletes’ Nonverbal Behavior
This research examined whether observers can accurately detect physical exertion and how their ratings align with athletes’ self-reports and physiological indicators. Across five independent studies (conducted 2024–2025 in Germany), 276 observers evaluated exertion from short video clips of 103 athletes differing in age (children and adults), exertion stage (rested, medium, high), and activity type (sprinting, running, cycling, workouts, track an…
The perils of the first try: Experimental evidence for visuomotor calibration in darts and hammering
Task such as hammering or throwing darts involve intentional actions performed with the anticipation of a desired effect that requires precision to achieve success. Visual perception of the goal, defined in an external frame of reference, plays a crucial role in specifying movement parameters in a body-centered frame of reference. Physical interruption of the task decouples the internal and external frames of reference leading to rapid performanc…
Thin-Slice Accuracy Depends on the Wisdom of Crowds: Aggregate Judgments Outperform Individual Judgments when Inferring Athletic Performance Based on Nonverbal Behavior
The present paper aims to resolve ambiguous findings on the accuracy or inaccuracy of human judgments based on sparse information by arguing that accurate thin-slice judgments can be understood as driven by the wisdom of the crowd. To test this hypothesis, participants estimated the performance of track and field athletes in different competitions based on thin slices of pre- and post-performance nonverbal behavior. Results suggest that averaged …
Non‐verbal behaviour of professional soccer players performing in the absence or presence of fans
The present research tested the impact of score line, spectator presence and game location on athletes’ non‐verbal behaviour (NVB). Two studies ( N = 240; N = 160) tested whether the NVB of soccer players differed as a function of score line, spectator‐presence and game location by asking participants to guess the current score, the dominance, pride and confidence of soccer players in videos. Results demonstrated that NVB ratings were more negati…
The Expression of Success: Are Thin-Slices of Pre-performance Nonverbal Behavior Prior to Throwing Darts Predictive of Performance in Professional Darts
The present research attempted to test how skilled people are at predicting perceptual-motor performance of professional darts players based on short observations of pre-performance nonverbal behavior. In four thin-slices experiments (total N = 490) we randomly sampled stimulus material from the 2017 World Championships of Darts showing short video recordings of the players immediately before throwing darts. Participants were asked to estimate th…
The Expression of Ego Depletion: Thin Slices of Nonverbal Behavior as Cues to Momentary Self-Control Capacity
Is depleted self-control capacity detectable from thin slices of behavior? In four video-conditions (early-depleted; early-non-depleted; late-depleted; late-non-depleted) untrained observers rated target persons' available self-control capacity in Experiments 1 and 2 (without sound) and in terms of fatigue and negative affect (Experiment 3). Videos were analyzed with Noldus FaceReader software (Experiment 4). Ego depletion could reliably be detec…
What’s past is past: Neither perceptual preactivation nor prior motivational relevance decrease subsequent inattentional blindness
Does working memory capacity predict cross-modally induced failures of awareness
