Sad or fearful? The influence of body posture on adults’ and children’s perception of facial displays of emotion
چکیده انگلیسی

The current research investigated the influence of body posture on adults’ and children’s perception of facial displays of emotion. In each of two experiments, participants categorized facial expressions that were presented on a body posture that was congruent (e.g., a sad face on a body posing sadness) or incongruent (e.g., a sad face on a body posing fear). Adults and 8-year-olds made more errors and had longer reaction times on incongruent trials than on congruent trials when judging sad versus fearful facial expressions, an effect that was larger in 8-year-olds. The congruency effect was reduced when faces and bodies were misaligned, providing some evidence for holistic processing. Neither adults nor 8-year-olds were affected by congruency when judging sad versus happy expressions. Evidence that congruency effects vary with age and with similarity of emotional expressions is consistent with dimensional theories and “emotional seed” models of emotion perception.


► Children’s perception of facial expressions is influenced by body posture.
► Congruency effects are influenced by similarity of emotion in face and body.
► Misaligning head and body reduces congruency effect.
