The JACBART (Japanese and Caucasian Brief Affect Recognition Test) microexpression recognition test only examines facial expressions under the neutral expression background and the ecological validity is not high. The EMERT (Ecological MicroExpressions Recognition Test) microexpression recognition test examined six microexpressions under seven backgrounds but does not detect the intensity of expressions. In the current study, a weak ecological microexpression recognition test was established to examine the recognition features of six weak microexpressions in all seven high intensity basic expressions. The results found: (1) the test had good retest reliability, criterion validity and ecological validity; and (2) the reliability and validity tests revealed a lot of characteristics of weak microexpression recognition. There were training effects in some weak microexpression recognition. Weak microexpression recognition was generally positively related to the microexpression recognition of JACBART but were generally negatively related to approximate common expressions. The backgrounds main effects in all weak microexpressions were significant and pairwise comparisons show there were a wide range of differences between weak microexpressions under different backgrounds. The standard deviations, of the accuracy of weak microexpressions in different backgrounds, were used to define the fluctuations of the weak microexpression recognition and we found that weak microexpression recognition had many fluctuations. (3) Personality openness and its subdimensions (O1, O2, O3, and O5) were generally positively related to some weak microexpression recognition, except O1, which was significantly negatively related to surprise under neutrality. O1 was positively related to the standard deviation of the weak anger microexpression recognition accuracies and O6 was negatively related to the standard deviation of the weak happiness microexpression recognition accuracies in the first measurement.
JACBART（日本人和高加索人简短情感识别测试）微表情识别测试仅在中性表情背景下检查面部表情，生态效度不高。EMERT（生态微表情识别测试）微表情识别测试在七种背景下检查了六种微表情，但未检测表情强度。在本研究中，建立了一种弱生态微表情识别测试，以检查所有七种高强度基本表情中六种弱微表情的识别特征。结果发现：（1）该测试具有良好的重测信度、效标效度和生态效度；（2）信效度测试揭示了许多弱微表情识别的特征。在一些弱微表情识别中存在训练效应。弱微表情识别一般与JACBART的微表情识别呈正相关，但与近似常见表情一般呈负相关。所有弱微表情中背景的主效应显著，两两比较表明不同背景下的弱微表情之间存在广泛差异。用不同背景下弱微表情准确性的标准差来定义弱微表情识别的波动，我们发现弱微表情识别存在许多波动。（3）人格开放性及其子维度（O1、O2、O3和O5）一般与一些弱微表情识别呈正相关，除了O1，它与中性条件下的惊讶呈显著负相关。在第一次测量中，O1与弱愤怒微表情识别准确性的标准差呈正相关，O6与弱快乐微表情识别准确性的标准差呈负相关。
