Moving faces

Effects on social judgements and decisions

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Human facial displays are dynamic in nature, in that
they move in space and time. Understanding the
dynamic course of facial expressions has important
implications for social communication in everyday
life. Additional information can be extracted from
moving displays that goes beyond that contained in
static displays. However, the signal value of dynamic
information is poorly understood, and scientific
knowledge regarding the effects of dynamic displays
on social judgements is still lacking.
In this dissertation, I examine the role played by
dynamic information in the interpretation of facial
expressions, particularly with respect to their
perceived authenticity. Using a range of social
settings, the central assumption tested is that
perceivers are sensitive to the temporal quality of
expressions and take this information into account
when making attributions and decisions. The findings
of this research provide insights into the inferences
perceivers make on the basis of dynamic displays, and
have implications for psychologists, sociologists,
economists, and computer scientists.
