我们使用多种方法来研究关于情感和文化的两个问题：（1）哪些面部表情可以被跨文化识别；（2）哪些面部表情可以被跨文化识别？ （2）“强迫选择”方法是否会导致普遍性的虚假发现？美国的 40 名参与者和印度的 40 名参与者被展示了 14 种面部表情，并被要求说出发生了什么导致该人做出这种表情。对给定的社会情境和自发使用的情感词的分析表明，大多数表达方式的识别度很高。随后使用相同面孔的强制选择任务证实了这些发现。对跨文化和表达方式的反应的幅度、离散性和相似性模式的分析得出这样的结论：跨文化可识别和不可识别的表达方式之间没有明确的区别。结果可以更好地描述为识别梯度。
We used multiple methods to examine two questions about emotion and culture: (1) Which facial expressions are recognised cross-culturally; and (2) does the "forced-choice" method lead to spurious findings of universality? Forty participants in the US and 40 in India were shown 14 facial expressions and asked to say what had happened to cause the person to make the face. Analyses of the social situations given and of the affect words spontaneously used showed high levels of recognition for most of the expressions. A subsequent forced-choice task using the same faces confirmed these findings. Analysis of the pattern of magnitude, discreteness, and similarity of responses across cultures and expressions led to the conclusion that there is no neat distinction between cross-culturally recognisable and nonrecognisable expressions. Results are better described as a gradient of recognition.
