COMMUNICATION THROUGH NONVERBAL BEHAVIOR

这是ADAMHA研究科学家的续签申请 奖品。我建议对三个相关主题进行研究 关注面部表情和情绪的。(1)我会探索 面部表情与自主神经的关系 一系列六个实验中的系统(ANS)活动。我们有 有证据表明自愿的面部表情会产生情绪- 特定的ANS活动，以及这个任务和另一个任务产生的 区分四种阴性的ANS活动模式 感情。我试图在另一种文化中复制这些发现，在 老年人群和面瘫患者，以便 阐明潜在的机制。(2)我将进一步探索 区分情感和情感的行为特征 非情绪化的表达，特别是决定特定的 区分表情的特征，当一种情绪 有经验的，从意在掩盖或伪造情感的表情 没有经验。(3)我将继续进行跨文化研究 面孔符号价值的共性与文化差异 表情。

This is a renewal application for an ADAMHA Research Scientist Award. I propose to pursue research on three related topics concerned with facial expression and emotion. (1) I will explore the relationship between facial expression and autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity in a series of six experiments. We have evidence that voluntary facial expressions generates emotion- specific ANS activity, and that this and another task produces patterns of ANS activity which distinguish among four negative emotions. I seek to replicate these findings in another culture, in older populations and in patients with facial paralysis, in order to illuminate the underlying mechanisms. (2) I will further explore the behavioral characteristics which distinguish emotional from nonemotional expressions, in particular determining the particular features which distinguish an expression when an emotion is experienced, from expressions intended to mask or falsify feelings not experienced. (3) I will continue cross cultural studies of universals and cultural differences in the signal value of facial expressions.
