Looking at You or Looking Elsewhere: The Influence of Head Orientation on the Signal Value of Emotional Facial Expressions (2007, neutral): “Facial expressions of emotions have been extensively studied over the past 100 years and the expressive movements that tend to be reliably associated with the perception of different emotional states are now well established (e.g., Elfenbein and Ambady 2002).”
GETTING CREDIT FOR PROACTIVE BEHAVIOR:SUPERVISOR REACTIONS DEPEND ON WHAT YOU VALUE AND HOW YOU FEEL (2009, background): “Evidence suggests that individuals are able to judge, with reasonable accuracy, the values of others (Maierhofer, Griffin, & Sheehan, 2000) as well as their affect (Elfenbein & Ambady, 2002).”
Do You Feel My Pain? Racial Group Membership Modulates Empathic Neural Responses (2009, background): “Nor can the racial bias in empathic neural responses be accounted for by in-group advantage in emotion recognition (Elfenbein and Ambady, 2002) because empathic neural responses were defined by contrasting of painful and non-painful stimuli applied to faces with neutral expressions.”
The effect of group-identification on emotion recognition: The case of cats and basketball players (2006, background): “Elfenbein and colleagues (Elfenbein, Mandal, Ambady, Harizuka, & Kumar, 2002, 2004; Elfenbein & Ambady, 2002, 2003; Elfenbein et al., 2005) have proposed the notion of cultural dialects to describe the encoding eVects.”
Teachers’ emotions and professional identity in curriculum reform: A Chinese perspective (2011, result): “Many empirical studies and meta-analyses have supported this claim by providing evidence of cultural influences on emotional perception, recognition, and expression (Anolli et al. 2008; Elfenbein and Ambady 2002; Matsumoto 1989).”
Basic Emotions, Natural Kinds, Emotion Schemas, and a New Paradigm (2007, background): “…facial and vocal expression of emotions also support the hypothesis of the universality of expressions of a limited set of basic emotions (e.g., Elfenbein & Ambady, 2002; Scherer, Johnstone, & Klasmeyer, 2003) and for their recognition via processing in evolutionarily old brain stem and…”
The many faces of emotional contagion (2014, positive): “Also, emotion recognition accuracy is higher when judging the expressions of ingroup versus outgroup members (Elfenbein & Ambady, 2002).”
Recognition of Facial Expressions of Emotion is Related to their Frequency in Everyday Life (2014, background): “Third, the in-group advantage effect (see Elfenbein 2013; Elfenbein and Ambady 2002) reveals that individuals are more accurate when judging emotional expressions from their own cultural group versus foreign groups.”
Decoding speech prosody in five languages (2006, background): “Elfenbein and Ambady (2002) conducted a meta-analysis of 97 experiments exploring cross-cultural recognition of emotion in visual and auditory modes.”
Emotional intelligence: new ability or eclectic traits? (2008, background): “To be sure, some differences exist in expressing and reading emotions across cultures (Ekman, 1973; Elfenbein & Ambady, 2002a; Mesquita, 2001).”
Emotion and culture: A meta-analysis (2007, background): “In an extensive meta-analysis of emotion recognition studies across cultures, Elfenbein and Ambady (2002, 2003) found the rate of emotion recognition to be fairly stable across countries, but recognition of basic emotions appeared to be easier in people from their own ethnicity than in those from…”
The perception and categorisation of emotional stimuli: A review (2010, background): “…still above-chance accuracy when sender and receiver come from different cultures, accuracy is reliably higher when both come from the same culture (Elfenbein & Ambady, 2002; Juslin & Laukka, 2003), suggesting that emotional categories are to some extent shaped by cultural factors and…”
Placing the face in context: cultural differences in the perception of facial emotion. (2008, methodology): “Because of the possibility that there might be differences in the way people interpret the faces of culturally familiar and culturally unfamiliar faces ( Elfenbein & Ambady, 2002 ), we used two different target figures: a Caucasian boy and an Asian boy.”
