In the current research, we tested the extent to which attachment insecurity produces inaccurate and biased perceptions of intimate partners' emotions and whether more negative perceptions of partners' emotions elicit the damaging behavior often associated with attachment insecurity. Perceptions of partners' emotions as well as partners' actual emotions were assessed multiple times in couples' conflict discussions (Study 1) and daily during a 3-week period in 2 independent samples (Study 2). Using partners' reports of their own emotional experiences as the accuracy benchmark, we simultaneously tested whether attachment insecurity was associated with the degree to which individuals (a) accurately detected shifts in their partners' negative emotions (tracking accuracy), and (b) perceived their partners were feeling more negative relationship-related emotions than they actually experienced (directional bias). Highly avoidant perceivers were equally accurate at tracking their partners' changing emotions compared to less avoidant individuals (tracking accuracy), but they overestimated the intensity of their partners' negative emotions to a greater extent than less avoidant individuals (directional bias). In addition, more negative perceptions of partners' emotions triggered more hostile and defensive behavior in highly avoidant perceivers both during conflict discussions (Study 1) and in daily life (Study 2). In contrast, attachment anxiety was not associated with tracking accuracy, directional bias, or hostile reactions to perceptions of their partners' negative emotions. These findings demonstrate the importance of assessing biased perceptions in actual relationship interactions and reveal that biased perceptions play an important role in activating the defenses of avoidantly attached people.

The relationship of problems in social perception to the social dysfunction of schizophrenic patients has not been adequately addressed. The present study compared the responses of patients diagnosed as schizophrenic and affective disorder and nonpatient subjects on a measure of perception of emotional cues. A measure of general attention/perception was also administered. Schizophrenics exhibited selective deficits in perception of emotional stimuli in relationship to control groups. They differed in their perceptions of negative emotion, but not positive or neutral emotion, in comparison to affective disorder and control subjects. This selective distortion in social perception was apparent even though schizophrenics also performed poorly on the general attentional measure. A number of alternatives are discussed as possible explanations for the specific deviations which schizophrenics exhibited in perceiving negative emotion.

Perception of happy and sad facial expressions in chronic schizophrenia: Evidence for two evaluative systems

The present study explores the relative absence of expressive cues and the effect of contextual cues on the perception of emotions and its effect on attitudes. The visibility of expressive cues was manipulated by showing films displaying female targets whose faces were either fully visible, covered by a niqab, or partially visible (control condition). Targets expressed anger, shame, and happiness in the three different face conditions. Results show that perception of emotions is mainly affected by an absence of expressive cues: Covering the lower part of the face results in the perception of less happiness in happy videos and of more intense negative emotions in both happy and shame videos. This bias toward the perception of more negative emotions in covered faces mediates a negative attitude toward niqabs.

It is commonly argued that older adults show difficulties in standardized tasks of emotional expression perception, yet most previous works relied on classic sets of static, decontextualized, and stereotypical facial expressions. In real life, facial expressions are dynamic and embedded in a rich context, 2 key factors that may aid emotion perception. Specifically, body language provides important affective cues that may disambiguate facial movements. We compared emotion perception of dynamic faces, bodies, and their combination in a sample of older (age 60-83, n = 126) and young (age 18-30, n = 124) adults. We used the Geneva Multimodal Emotion Portrayals set, which includes a full view of expressers' faces and bodies, displaying a diverse range of positive and negative emotions, portrayed dynamically and holistically in a nonstereotypical, unconstrained manner. Critically, we digitally manipulated the dynamic cue such that perceivers viewed isolated faces (without bodies), isolated bodies (without faces), or faces with bodies. Older adults showed better perception of positive and negative dynamic facial expressions, while young adults showed better perception of positive isolated dynamic bodily expressions. Importantly, emotion perception of faces with bodies was comparable across ages. Dynamic emotion perception in young and older adults may be more similar than previously assumed, especially when the task is more realistic and ecological. Our results emphasize the importance of contextualized and ecological tasks in emotion perception across ages.

ABSTRACTAcross two studies majority group children’s (8–13 years) perception of positive and negative emotions in ethnic in-group and disadvantaged ethnic out-group peers was examined. Study 1 (N = 302) showed that children expected in-group peers to feel better in a positive situation compared to out-group peers. Whereas, in a negative situation, children expected in-group peers to feel less bad compared to out-group peers, particularly when they evaluated the in-group as very positive. Study 2 (N = 201) replicates these findings across multiple positive and negative situations, and additionally shows that in very negative situations children expect in-group and out-group peers to feel equally bad. These results suggest that children’s perception of emotions in others is influenced by ethnic group membership.

The study examined the correlation between autistic traits, perception of body emotion from dynamic point-light displays, and perception of dynamic facial expression in adults. A sample of 172 adults from Georgia completed an online survey. The results revealed a correlation between autistic traits and perception of facial anger emotion and in identifying anger and happiness of body emotions. The difficulty perceiving the emotion of anger is generalized in both modalities, facial and body movements. Our results indicate that the perception of emotions in faces and the perception of emotions in the movement are not the same factors concerning autistic traits and autistic traits are associated with difficulty perceiving negative emotions in healthy people.

COVID-19, as a significant public health issue, has had a major impact on the mental health of people worldwide. Research shows a significant positive correlation between individuals' risk perception levels and negative emotions during the outbreak of COVID-19. However, some studies also suggest that the relationship between the two is not significant. Therefore, we will conduct a meta-analysis to explore the relationship between risk perception and negative emotions from cultural, temporal, and individual psychological perspectives. Searches were conducted in the Web of Science, Pub Med, Google Scholar, PsycINFO, Scopus, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases, focusing on publications from January 2020 onwards, specifically targeting studies examining the relationship between risk perception and negative emotion during COVID-19. A total of 58 papers with 85 effect sizes were meta-analyzed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 3.0 software, with a combined sample of 83,948 individuals. Risk perception of COVID-19 showed a moderate positive correlation with negative emotions (r = 0.211, 95%CI [0.18, 0.24]). There was no moderating effect of tight-loose cultures on the relationship between risk perception of COVID-19 and negative emotions. However, the epidemic period, gender ratio, and measurement methods did have moderating effects on the relationship between risk perception of COVID-19 and negative emotions. In future research, we can further develop theories related to the risk perception of COVID-19 and negative emotions, and based on these, formulate interventions to promote people's mental health.

Emotion perception of the target face within an emotional crowd is influenced by the intensity of surrounding emotional faces. The present study investigated whether participants perceived the target face's emotional intensity as more aligned with the crowd's emotional intensity (i.e., assimilation effect of facial emotion perception in an emotional crowd). Participants estimated the emotional intensity of the target face within a crowd consisting of multiple emotional faces (angry/happy crowd in Experiment 1 and Experiment 3; angry/happy/fearful crowd in Experiment 2). Results across the first two experiments established a consistent assimilation effect: when embedded within a low-intensity angry or fearful crowd, negative target faces were perceived as less intense than their objective baseline. After accounting for potential confounds related to facial morphological features, Experiment 3 replicated these findings, confirming the stability of this perceptual bias. Notably, this assimilation effect was valence-specific, appearing consistently for negative emotions but failing to emerge for happy faces. Additionally, we found that individuals with a higher level of depression tended to underestimate the happy intensity of the happy face within a happy crowd. Across three experiments, the present study revealed that the negative face's emotional intensity perception within a negative crowd exhibited an assimilation effect.

TB stigma constitutes a major barrier to disease control and social distress. This study aims to understand better the inherent social processes on the perception of emotions. Thus far, the specific role of TB stigma in this respect was not tested. We hypothesize that individuals in TB treatment (vs. a control non-clinical group) would identify more negative emotions in the faces of others, specifically rejecting emotions (e.g., disgust) when preoccupied with TB stigma. Two groups of participants completed a questionnaire with 23 faces, identified the emotions portrayed in the pictures, and reported their level of Stigma Consciousness, Interpersonal-Rejection Related to Stigma, and Rejection Sensitivity. Results show that the two groups significantly differ in their perceptions of negative emotions: participants in treatment identify less disgust and more sadness, fear, and anger versus the control group. Findings are discussed concerning the literature on stigma and its consequences.

There is a large, although diverse, neuropsychological literature linking both subcortical and neocortical structures to the expression and perception of emotion (Borod, 1992; Stuss, Gow, & Hetherington, 1992). This literature has focused on studies of adults with various types of cerebral damage, injury, or psychopathology and has reported relations between the locus of damage or activity and emotion perception and expression. In the main, this literature suggests that the side of the brain that is damaged or hyperactive is of some significance to emotional behavior. Adults with damage to the right side are more likely to express positive types of emotions, while damage to the left side is associated with negative emotions. This is known as the valence model of brain-emotion relations (cf. Borod, 1992). The pattern of findings from this literature was one factor motivating researchers to study cerebral lateralization in normal human adults and infants and its effect on emotion behaviors (Davidson, 1984a; Fox & Davidson, 1984). If damage to one side of the brain affected the expression or perception of certain emotions, then perhaps the source for these competencies in the intact brain could be identified and insights into normal emotional behavior gained. An important distinction that has been drawn by these studies is that brain injury or surgical intervention has differential effects on the perception versus the expression of affect (Silberman & Weingartner, 1986). These differential effects depend on whether damage was anterior or posterior in the hemisphere. In general, damage, injury, or activation of posterior re-

The purpose of the research on emotion classification of film and television (TV) scene images is to hope that the computer can simulate the audience's emotional perception to judge positive or negative emotional trends of the image. In this paper, from the perspective of emotional semantics, a method of the emotion classification about the film and TV scene image is proposed. Firstly, the film and TV scene image dataset were established and assessed based on the subjective evaluation experiment. Then the theory of psychology and photographic art was used to extract image emotional features. Finally, particle swarm optimization (PSO)-support vector machine (SVM) algorithm based on feature importance dimension reduction was used for building the classifier. The experimental results show that the image dataset initially established in this paper can be helpful to the subsequent study on emotion classification of the film and TV scene image, and the accuracy of the positive and negative emotion classifier on this dataset is 0.87, which conforms to audience's emotional perception of the film and TV scene image.
