Human beings do not passively perceive the facial expressions of other people, but predict observed facial expressions by employing past experiences. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether and how anticipation affected the perception of facial expressions. A 3-way repeated-measures ANOVA on anticipation, orientation, and facial expression was performed on RTs and recognition accuracy in Experiments 1 and 2. The results showed that anticipation reduced susceptibility to negative facial expressions. In this regard, anticipation might be considered as an effective emotion-regulation strategy. In addition, a decreased inversion effect for positive facial expressions was found in the predictable condition, which might reflect a switch from feature-based to holistic processing.
人类并非被动地感知他人的面部表情，而是通过运用过去的经验来预测观察到的面部表情。本研究的目的是调查预期是否以及如何影响面部表情的感知。在实验 1 和实验 2 中，我们对面部表情的预期、方向和面部表情进行了 3 向重复测量方差分析，分析了反应时和识别准确性。结果表明，预期减少了对负面面部表情的敏感性。在这方面，预期可以被视为一种有效的情绪调节策略。此外，在可预测的条件下，对积极面部表情的反转效应减小，这可能反映了从基于特征的加工到整体加工的转变。
