O reconhecimento de expressões de emoções básicas e auto-conscientes na população portuguesa

Em finais da década de sessenta, um grupo de investigadores descobriu que para um conjunto de emoções básicas existem expressões não-verbais distintas, universais, e provavelmente inatas. Desde então, multiplicaram-se os estudos em diferentes culturas que pretendem testar a tese da universalidade. Muitos deles consistiram no desenvolvimento e validação de sistemas de codificação de acção muscular facial para as expressões das diferentes emoções. Recentemente, têm surgido evidências de universalidade das expressões de algumas emoções auto-conscientes. Esta investigação teve como objectivo testar o comportamento na população portuguesa do University of California, Davis, Set of Emotion Expressions, ou UCDSEE (Tracy, Robins, & Schriber, 2009), um conjunto de 47 fotografias com expressões emocionais básicas e auto-conscientes. Participaram nesta investigação 427 estudantes universitários, a quem foi pedido que as observassem e identificassem as respectivas emoções. As expressões das emoções em estudo foram reconhecidas pela população portuguesa num nível superior ao acaso, exceptuando as de vergonha. O reconhecimento das expressões das emoções básicas foi superior ao das emoções auto- conscientes. O UCDSEE mostrou-se adequado para futuros estudos com a população portuguesa.

Emotion recognition in multiple sclerosis

The effect of multiple sclerosis (MS) on the ability to identify emotional expressions in faces was investigated, and possible associations with patients’ characteristics were explored. 56 non-demented MS patients and 56 healthy subjects (HS) with similar demographic characteristics performed an emotion recognition task (ERT), the Benton Facial Recognition Test (BFRT), and answered the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Additionally, MS patients underwent a neurological examination and a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation. The ERT consisted of 42 pictures of faces (depicting anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, surprise and neutral expressions) from the NimStim set. An iViewX high-speed eye tracker was used to record eye movements during ERT. The fixation times were calculated for two regions of interest (i.e., eyes and rest of the face). No significant differences were found between MS and HC on ERT’s behavioral and oculomotor measures. Bivariate and multiple regression analyses revealed significant associations between ERT’s behavioral performance and demographic, clinical, psychopathological, and cognitive measures.

Computationally efficient expressions for the collision efficiency between electrically charged aerosol particles and cloud droplets

A multiple factor parametrization is described to permit the efficient calculation of collision efficiency (E) between electrically charged aerosol particles and neutral cloud droplets in numerical models of cloud and climate. The four-parameter representation summarizes the results obtained from a detailed microphysical model of E, which accounts for the different forces acting on the aerosol in the path of falling cloud droplets. The parametrization's range of validity is for aerosol particle radii of 0.4 to 10 mu m, aerosol particle densities of I to 2.0 g cm(-3), aerosol particle charges from neutral to 100 elementary charges and drop radii from 18.55 to 142 mu m. The parametrization yields values of E well within an order of magnitude of the detailed model's values, from a dataset of 3978 E values. Of these values 95% have modelled to parametrized ratios between 0.5 and 1.5 for aerosol particle sizes ranging between 0.4 and 2.0 mu m, and about 96% in the second size range. This parametrization speeds up the calculation of E by a factor of similar to 10(3) compared with the original microphysical model, permitting the inclusion of electric charge effects in numerical cloud and climate models.

Processing of faces and emotional expressions in infants at risk of social phobia

Individuals with social phobia display social information processing biases yet their aetiological significance is unclear. Infants of mothers with social phobia and control infants' responses were assessed at 10 days, 10 and 16 weeks, and 10 months to faces versus non-faces, variations in intensity of emotional expressions, and gaze direction. Infant temperament and maternal behaviours were also assessed. Both groups showed a preference for faces over non-faces at 10 days and 10 weeks, and full faces over profiles at 16 weeks; they also looked more to high vs. low intensity angry faces at 10 weeks, and fearful faces at 10 months; however, index infants' initial orientation and overall looking to high-intensity fear faces was relatively less than controls at 10 weeks. This was not explained by infant temperament or maternal behaviours. The findings suggest that offspring of mothers with social phobia show processing biases to emotional expressions in infancy.
