| summary | During this symposium, speakers will present new insights on how context (threat / anxiety induction) and culture influence the way we process information conveyed by faces. Each presentation will last 40 minutes and will be followed by 15 minutes of questions.
Understanding how facial expressions communicate social messages has remained a central question for over a century. However, this is empirically challenging due to their complexity with traditional, theory-driven approaches and Western-centric biases restricting understanding. New technologies and data-driven methods now alleviate these constraints, giving real traction and delivering novel insights. Here, I will showcase one such approach that can objectively and precisely model dynamic facial expressions within and across cultures. We show that four, not six, core expressive patterns are cross-cultural, and that facial expressions transmit information in an evolving, broad-to-specific structure over time. Our work challenges longstanding beliefs of cultural universality and forms the basis of a new theoretical framework. Finally, we show direct transference of our dynamic facial expression models to the digital economy including generative signalling models for digital agents. Such applications present new opportunities for Psychology to play a central role in designing new technologies. |
