It often feels like we can just look at someone's face and know how they feel. We sense when our coworker had a bad day or why our partner is smiling. Yet, although it may feel like we can simply read the expressions in others' faces, research suggests a more sophisticated process that uses what we know about the other person to "predict" how they should feel in this moment, and that what we seein their face reflects both: the expression they really show and the one we expect.The proposed research tests this hypothesis, specifically whether prior emotion information about others - their body language, what they say about themselves - changes not only how we think they feel but also how we perceive their facial expressions. It will test, for example, whether a happy face will appear happier than it is with an excited body language, and less happy with a downcast body language. We will also investigate whether autistic individuals struggle in social interactions, paradoxically, because they see others' expressions more as they really are rather than how they should look like given the context.This research will greatly enhance our understanding of how we read others' emotions and why we sometimes continue to misunderstand them, despite evidence to the contrary. The findings may have wide impacts, from emotion reading in law enforcement training to new interventions for autistic individuals, which currently only focus on a lexicon-like reading of emotions from facial expressions.

我们常常觉得只要看着某人的脸就能知道他们的感受。我们能感觉到我们的同事什么时候过得不好，或者为什么我们的伴侣在微笑。然而，尽管我们可能觉得我们可以简单地阅读他人脸上的表情，但研究表明，一个更复杂的过程是利用我们对他人的了解来“预测”他们在这一刻的感受，我们在他们脸上看到的反映了这两个方面：他们真正表现出的表情和我们期望的表情。拟议中的研究验证了这一假设，特别是关于他人的先前情感信息--他们的肢体语言，他们对自己的描述--是否不仅改变了我们对他们感觉的看法，而且改变了我们对他们面部表情的看法。例如，它将测试一张快乐的脸是否会比兴奋的肢体语言更快乐，以及沮丧的肢体语言是否更不快乐。我们还将调查自闭症患者在社会交往中是否会出现矛盾，因为他们看到的是他人的真实表情，而不是他们在特定环境下应该看到的表情。这项研究将极大地增强我们对如何解读他人情绪的理解，以及为什么我们有时会继续误解他们，尽管有相反的证据。这些发现可能会产生广泛的影响，从执法培训中的情感阅读到自闭症患者的新干预措施，目前只关注从面部表情中读取情感的词汇式阅读。
