The role of the social context in facial identity recognition and expression recall was investigated by manipulating the sender's emotional expression and the perceiver's experienced emotion during encoding. A mixed-design with one manipulated between-subjects factor (perceiver's experienced emotion) and two within-subjects factors (change in experienced emotion and sender's emotional expression) was used. Senders' positive and negative expressions were implicitly encoded while perceivers experienced their baseline emotion and then either a positive or a negative emotion. Facial identity recognition was then tested using senders' neutral expressions. Memory for senders previously seen expressing positive or negative emotion was facilitated if the perceiver initially encoded the expression while experiencing a positive or a negative emotion, respectively. Furthermore, perceivers were confident of their decisions. This research provides a more detailed understanding of the social context by exploring how the sender-perceiver interaction affects the memory for the sender.
通过在编码过程中操纵发送者的情感表达和感知者的体验情绪，研究了社会背景在面部身份识别和表情回忆中的作用。采用了一种混合设计，其中一个被操纵的组间因素（感知者的体验情绪）和两个组内因素（体验情绪的变化和发送者的情感表达）。当感知者体验其基线情绪，然后体验积极或消极情绪时，发送者的积极和消极表情被隐式编码。然后使用发送者的中性表情测试面部身份识别。如果感知者最初在体验积极或消极情绪时对表情进行编码，那么对之前看到表达积极或消极情绪的发送者的记忆会得到促进。此外，感知者对自己的决定很有信心。这项研究通过探索发送者 - 感知者互动如何影响对发送者的记忆，提供了对社会背景更详细的理解。
