“…This measure can be of interest given the evidence that the recognition accuracy of facial expressions is higher when there is a match (vs. mismatch) between the cultural group of the expresser and of the perceiver (for reviews, see [64,65]). This in-group advantage for emotion recognition was also found with child participants when judging emotional expressions displayed by adults (e.g., [66]). Moreover, we also included a forced-choice expression recognition task to replicate the original validation study.…”

Subjective ratings and emotional recognition of children’s facial expressions from the CAFE set

Access to validated stimuli depicting children’s facial expressions is useful for different research domains (e.g., developmental, cognitive or social psychology). Yet, such databases are scarce in comparison to others portraying adult models, and validation procedures are typically restricted to emotional recognition accuracy. This work presents subjective ratings for a sub-set of 283 photographs selected from the Child Affective Facial Expression set (CAFE [1]). Extending beyond the original emotion recognition accuracy norms [2], our main goal was to validate this database across eight subjective dimensions related to the model (e.g., attractiveness, familiarity) or the specific facial expression (e.g., intensity, genuineness), using a sample from a different nationality (N = 450 Portuguese participants). We also assessed emotion recognition (forced-choice task with seven options: anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, surprise and neutral). Overall results show that most photographs were rated as highly clear, genuine and intense facial expressions. The models were rated as both moderately familiar and likely to belong to the in-group, obtaining high attractiveness and arousal ratings. Results also showed that, similarly to the original study, the facial expressions were accurately recognized. Normative and raw data are available as supplementary material at https://osf.io/mjqfx/.

“…That there was no in-group advantage in emotion recognition accuracy was unexpected. Previous studies have found that social categorization based on race [ 42 , 43 ] and other natural groups (e.g., identification with basketball players; [ 41 ]) influences emotion recognition. And perhaps the strongest evidence that social categorization influences emotion recognition is that assigning people to artificial groups leads to better emotion recognition for faces that supposedly belong to the same group vs. faces that supposedly belong to a different group [ 40 ].…”

“…For example, Kang & Lau [ 42 ] found a mutual in-group advantage when European Americans and Asian Americans rated spontaneous expressions from both groups. Tuminello et al [ 43 ] found an in-group advantage in European American children rating posed facial expressions of European American and African American faces, but no in-group advantage for African American children rating the same faces, suggesting that the in-group advantage might also interact with a majority-group advantage.…”

An investigation of the effect of race-based social categorization on adults’ recognition of emotion

Emotion recognition is important for social interaction and communication, yet previous research has identified a cross-cultural emotion recognition deficit: Recognition is less accurate for emotions expressed by individuals from a cultural group different than one’s own. The current study examined whether social categorization based on race, in the absence of cultural differences, influences emotion recognition in a diverse context. South Asian and White Canadians in the Greater Toronto Area completed an emotion recognition task that required them to identify the seven basic emotional expressions when posed by members of the same two groups, allowing us to tease apart the contributions of culture and social group membership. Contrary to our hypothesis, there was no mutual in-group advantage in emotion recognition: Participants were not more accurate at recognizing emotions posed by their respective racial in-groups. Both groups were more accurate at recognizing expressions when posed by South Asian faces, and White participants were more accurate overall compared to South Asian participants. These results suggest that in a diverse environment, categorization based on race alone does not lead to the creation of social out-groups in a way that negatively impacts emotion recognition.

“…Although still lagging behind research conducted on facial expressions, adults’ and children’s perception of body emotions has been measured in a variety of tasks, encompassing both behavioral and physiological measures (for reviews, see de Gelder, 2006; de Gelder, de Borst, & Watson, 2015; for select studies on children, see Geangu, Quadrelli, Conte, Croci, & Turati, 2016; Peterson, Slaughter, & Brownell, 2015; Tuminello & Davidson, 2011).…”

Research suggests that infants progress from discrimination to recognition of emotions in faces during the first half year of life. It is unknown whether the perception of emotions from bodies develops in a similar manner. In the current study, when presented with happy and angry body videos and voices, 5-month-olds looked longer at the matching video when they were presented upright but not when they were inverted. In contrast, 3.5-month-olds failed to match even with upright videos. Thus, 5-month-olds but not 3.5-month-olds exhibited evidence of recognition of emotions from bodies by demonstrating intermodal matching. In a subsequent experiment, younger infants did discriminate between body emotion videos but failed to exhibit an inversion effect, suggesting that discrimination may be based on low-level stimulus features. These results document a developmental change from discrimination based on non-emotional information at 3.5 months to recognition of body emotions at 5 months. This pattern of development is similar to face emotion knowledge development and suggests that both the face and body emotion perception systems develop rapidly during the first half year of life.
