本研究验证了来自生态理论的假设，即情绪表达的适应性社会知觉会促进特质印象。此外，据预测，这些印象会被过度概括，并在那些没有故意摆出表情但情绪举止各异的脸上被感知到。为了验证这些预测，感知者观看了32个未经训练的目标，他们摆出快乐、惊讶、愤怒、悲伤和恐惧的表情，并对他们的统治地位和隶属关系形成印象。当实验对象表现出快乐和惊讶时，他们被认为具有较高的支配性和隶属性，而当他们表现出愤怒时，他们被认为具有较高的支配性和较低的隶属性。当目标表现出悲伤和恐惧时，他们被认为是低支配性的。正如预测的那样，许多这样的印象被过度概括，并归因于没有摆出表情的目标。观察到的效果通常独立于其他面部线索（即吸引力和孩子气）的影响。
This study tested the hypothesis derived from ecological theory that adaptive social perceptions of emotion expressions fuel trait impressions. Moreover, it was predicted that these impressions would be overgeneralized and perceived in faces that were not intentionally posing expressions but nevertheless varied in emotional demeanor. To test these predictions, perceivers viewed 32 untrained targets posing happy, surprised, angry, sad, and fearful expressions and formed impressions of their dominance and affiliation. When targets posed happiness and surprise they were perceived as high in dominance and affiliation whereas when they posed anger they were perceived as high in dominance and low in affiliation. When targets posed sadness and fear they were perceived as low in dominance. As predicted, many of these impressions were overgeneralized and attributed to targets who were not posing expressions. The observed effects were generally independent of the impact of other facial cues (i.e., attractiveness and babyishness).
