Others’ facial and bodily expressions of emotion modulate willingness to engage in joint action – but actions and objects matter too
Emotions are fundamental to social cognition, yet their role in joint action remains underexplored. This study examined how emotional expressions (angry, sad, happy, and neutral) influence behavioural readiness (willingness to engage) in an object-handover task. Across two experiments, participants rated their willingness to "give" or "take" an object (spoon or knife) while viewing dynamic point-light displays (PLDs) of facial (Experiment 1) or b…
The multisensory nature of human action imagery
Imagination can appeal to all our senses and may, therefore, manifest in very different qualities (e.g., visual, tactile, proprioceptive, or kinesthetic). One line of research addresses action imagery that refers to a process by which people imagine the execution of an action without actual body movements. In action imagery, visual and kinesthetic aspects of the imagined action are particularly important. However, other sensory modalities may als…
When the timing is right
Affective states can be understood as dynamic interpersonal processes developing over time and space. When we observe emotional interactions performed by other individuals, our visual system anticipates how the action will unfold. Thus, it has been proposed that the process of emotion perception is not only a simulative but also a predictive process - a phenomenon described as interpersonal predictive coding. The present study investigated whethe…
Emotional expressivity of the observer mediates recognition of affective states from human body movements
Research on human motion perception shows that people are highly adept at inferring emotional states from body movements. Yet, this process is mediated by a number of individual factors and experiences. Within this study, we tackle two questions. Firstly, we ask which part of the body transmits the key information that is used to infer affective states. Secondly, we address how the observer's own emotional expressivity influences the recognition …
