Does famil­iar­ity influ­ence pro­cess­ing of emo­tional expressions?

This is a 2-part study, open to any­one 16 years of age or older. The main objec­tive of the project is to inves­ti­gate how we process our own emo­tional expres­sions (self) vs. those of peo­ple we do not know (other). In Part 1, your facial expres­sion will be recorded while look­ing at images pre­sented on a com­puter screen. In Part 2, you will be tested on recog­ni­tion of your own facial responses to the images and the facial responses of another, unknown, per­son to the same images. Record­ing of your facial expres­sion in Part 1 is manda­tory for par­tic­i­pa­tion. If there are any prob­lems in the record­ings, such as tech­ni­cal prob­lems, then you may not be asked to return for Part 2. Both ses­sions will take no more than an hour to com­plete and you will receive $10 per ses­sion completed.

Please email Alanna Gravely (agravely@dal.ca) for more infor­ma­tion about the study and to sched­ule your ses­sion for Part 1.
