For recognizing people's emotions, facial expressions do play an important role. However, they are not the only crucial factor.
A person's facial expression provides crucial information for us to recognize their emotions. But there's much more to this process than that. This is according to the research conducted by Dr. Leda Berio and Professor Albert Newen from the Institute of Philosophy II at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany. The team describes emotion recognition not as a separate module, but as part of a comprehensive process that helps us form a general impression of another person.
Based on such characteristics, people tend to quickly assess others and immediately associate social status and even certain personality traits with them. These associations dictate how we perceive other people's emotions."If we perceive a person as a woman and they show a negative emotion, we're more likely to attribute the emotion to fear, whereas with a man it's more likely to be read as anger," as Berio points out.
In other words, people make use of the wealth of characteristics and background knowledge to assess the emotion of another person. Only in rare cases do they read the emotion from a person's facial expression alone."All this has implications for emotion recognition using artificial intelligence : It will only be a reliable option when AI doesn't rely solely on facial expressions, which is what most systems currently do," says Newen.
