People with facial paralysis (FP) report social difficulties, but some attempt to compensate by increasing expressivity in their bodies and voices. We examined perceivers' emotion judgments of videos of people with FP to understand how they interpret the combination of an inexpressive face with an expressive body and voice. Results suggest perceivers form less favorable impressions of people with severe FP, but compensatory expression is effective in improving impressions. Perceivers seemed to form holistic impressions when rating happiness and possibly sadness. Findings have implications for basic emotion research and social functioning interventions for people with FP.
面瘫患者报告存在社交困难，但有些人试图通过增强身体和声音的表现力来进行补偿。我们研究了观察者对面瘫患者视频的情绪判断，以了解他们如何解读无表情的面部与富有表现力的身体和声音的组合。结果表明，观察者对严重面瘫患者的印象较差，但补偿性表达在改善印象方面是有效的。在对快乐以及可能还有悲伤进行评分时，观察者似乎形成了整体印象。这些发现对基础情绪研究以及面瘫患者的社会功能干预具有启示意义。
