Two experiments were conducted in order to investigate the effect of expression intensity on gender differences in the recognition of facial emotions. The first experiment compared recognition accuracy between female and male participants when emotional faces were shown with full-blown (100% emotional content) or subtle expressiveness (50%). In a second experiment more finely grained analyses were applied in order to measure recognition accuracy as a function of expression intensity (40%-100%). The results show that although women were more accurate than men in recognizing subtle facial displays of emotion, there was no difference between male and female participants when recognizing highly expressive stimuli.
为了研究表情强度对识别面部情绪时性别差异的影响，进行了两项实验。第一个实验比较了在呈现具有充分表现力（100%情绪内容）或微妙表现力（50%）的情绪面孔时，女性和男性参与者之间的识别准确率。在第二个实验中，应用了更精细的分析方法，以测量作为表情强度（40%-100%）函数的识别准确率。结果表明，虽然女性在识别微妙的面部情绪表现时比男性更准确，但在识别高度表现力的刺激时，男性和女性参与者之间没有差异。
