Facial Expressions
Year: 2017 Oxford University Press eBooks Publisher: Oxford University Press
Abstract
The argument about whether facial expressions of emotion are universal or culture-specific goes back more than 100 years. This chapter reviews the different kinds of evidence that support universals in expression and cultural differences. I will present eight challenges to that evidence, and how those challenges have been met by proponents of universality. I will try to present the evidence and counterarguments as fairly as I can, so that readers can make up their own minds.
