Guilt is a complex emotion with a potentially important social function of stimulating cooperative behaviours towards and from others, but whether the feeling of guilt is associated with a recognisable pattern of nonverbal behaviour is unknown. We examined the production and perception of guilt in two different studies, with a total of 238 participants with various places of origin. Guilt was induced experimentally, eliciting patterns of movement that were associated with both the participants' self-reported feelings of guilt and judges' impressions of their guilt. Guilt was most closely associated with frowning and neck touching. While there were differences between self-reported guilt and perception of guilt the findings suggest that there are consistent patterns that could be considered a non-verbal signal of guilt in humans.
内疚是一种复杂的情绪，具有刺激与他人合作行为的潜在重要社会功能，但内疚感是否与可识别的非言语行为模式有关尚不清楚。我们在两项不同的研究中研究了内疚的产生和感知，共有来自不同地方的 238 名参与者。内疚是通过实验诱发的，引发了与参与者自我报告的内疚感和判断者对他们内疚感的印象相关的运动模式。内疚与皱眉和颈部触摸最为密切相关。虽然自我报告的内疚感和对内疚感的感知之间存在差异，但研究结果表明，存在一致的模式，可以被认为是人类内疚的非言语信号。
