Should we call it expression or communication?

Pages 333-344 | Published online: 24 Jan 2012
 

Abstract

Two issues are addressed. First is the matter of just what type of information can be derived from observing a facial expression of emotion. Seven different emotion domains are described. Then problems inherent in the terms expression and communication are described as they apply to facial behaviour. In this context the argument that the face just signals about interactive not emotional phenomena is shown to be a false and misleading dichotomy.
