We tested links between social status and emotion recognition accuracy (ERA) with participants from a diverse array of cultures and a new model and method of ERA, the Assessment of Contextualized Emotion (ACE), which incorporates social context and is linked to different types of social interaction across cultures. Participants from the Czech Republic (Study 1) and from 12 cultural groups in Europe, North America, and Asia (Study 2) completed a short version of the ACE, a self-construal scale, and the MacArthur Subjective Social Status (SSS) scale. In both studies, higher SSS was associated with more accuracy. In Study 2, this relationship was mediated by higher independent self-construal and moderated by countries' long-term orientation and relational mobility. The findings suggest that the positive association between higher social class and emotion recognition accuracy is due to the use of agentic modes of socio-cognitive reasoning by higher status individuals. This raises new questions regarding the socio-cultural ecologies that afford this relationship.
我们使用来自不同文化背景的参与者，以及一种新的情绪识别准确性（ERA）模型和方法——情境化情绪评估（ACE），来测试社会地位与情绪识别准确性之间的联系。ACE纳入了社会背景，并与跨文化的不同类型社会互动相关联。来自捷克共和国的参与者（研究1）以及来自欧洲、北美和亚洲12个文化群体的参与者（研究2）完成了ACE的简短版本、自我建构量表和麦克阿瑟主观社会地位（SSS）量表。在两项研究中，较高的社会地位得分都与更高的准确性相关。在研究2中，这种关系由较高的独立自我建构介导，并受到国家长期导向和关系流动性的调节。研究结果表明，较高社会阶层与情绪识别准确性之间的正相关是由于较高地位的个体使用了能动的社会认知推理模式。这就引发了关于促成这种关系的社会文化生态的新问题。
