在早期的研究中，作者分别针对面部表情、声音表达、手势以及身体动作分析了专业演员的情绪表现。在对所有这些模态的综合数据集进行的二次分析中，作者现在研究演员在多大程度上使用表达行为的典型多模态配置来表现不同的情绪，正如基本情绪理论所预测的那样，这些理论声称表情是由固定的神经运动情感程序产生的。尽管识别出了几个连贯的单模态集群，但结果只显示出3个多模态集群：激动、顺从和惊喜，其中只有最后一个是特定于某一种情绪的。发现可变的表达而非典型模式似乎与成分评估理论所假定的观点一致，即情绪表达是由连续评估检查的结果差异驱动的。
In earlier work, the authors analyzed emotion portrayals by professional actors separately for facial expression, vocal expression, gestures, and body movements. In a secondary analysis of the combined data set for all these modalities, the authors now examine to what extent actors use prototypical multimodal configurations of expressive actions to portray different emotions, as predicted by basic emotion theories claiming that expressions are produced by fixed neuromotor affect programs. Although several coherent unimodal clusters are identified, the results show only 3 multimodal clusters: agitation, resignation, and joyful surprise, with only the latter being specific to a particular emotion. Finding variable expressions rather than prototypical patterns seems consistent with the notion that emotional expression is differentially driven by the results of sequential appraisal checks, as postulated by componential appraisal theories.
