We examined asymmetry in posed facial expression of emotions: happy and sad. Hemifacial composite photographs, left-left and right-right, were prepared, and subjects rated these for intensity of expressed emotion. Overall, left-left composites were judged to have expressed emotions relatively more intensely than the right-right composites. The significant Sex x Emotion interaction revealed that female expressors were judged as more expressive than male expressors in expressing sad facial emotion. Sex difference in expression of happy facial emotion was not significant.
我们研究了在摆拍的快乐和悲伤面部表情中的不对称性。准备了左右脸组合的面部合成照片，让受试者对这些照片所表达情感的强度进行评分。总体而言，左右脸组合的照片被判定比右右脸组合的照片表达情感的程度相对更强。显著的性别×情感交互作用表明，在表达悲伤面部情感时，女性表达者被判定比男性表达者更具表现力。在快乐面部情感的表达上，性别差异不显著。
