Sex and sexual orientation related differences in processing of happy and sad facial emotions were examined using an experimental facial emotion recognition paradigm with a large sample (N = 240). Analysis of covariance (controlling for age and IQ) revealed that women (irrespective of sexual orientation) had faster reaction times than men for accurate identification of facial emotion and were more accurate in identifying male faces than female ones, whereas men performed the same regardless of the sex of the face. However, there were no overall sex differences in accuracy. These findings suggest a limited role for sex in the perception of facial affect.
使用一个大样本（N = 240）的实验性面部情绪识别范式，研究了在处理快乐和悲伤面部情绪时与性别及性取向相关的差异。协方差分析（控制年龄和智商）显示，女性（无论性取向如何）在准确识别面部情绪方面的反应时间比男性更快，并且在识别男性面孔时比识别女性面孔更准确，而男性对面孔的性别则表现相同。然而，在准确性方面没有总体的性别差异。这些发现表明性别在面部情感感知中的作用有限。
