ABSTRACT:
In our day-to-day interactions, we sometimes see only half of peoples’ faces and for relatively
brief but significant periods of time. While judging such faces, we nevertheless often
succeed in identifying emotions conveyed by facial expressions. To some extent, the perception
of the positive emotions is better than that of negative emotions. Results also show better
perception of ‘approach’ emotions as compared to ‘withdrawal’ emotions. Moreover, there is
a right visual-field superiority for happiness, whereas expressions of anger are better judged
when presented to the left visual field (right hemisphere). Aroused and non-aroused emotions
do not affect perception of facial emotions.
