Влияние вариаций настроения и эмоциональных черт на восприятие эмоций по фотографиям лиц
The main goal of this study was to discover the relationship between mood variations, emotional traits and the perception of emotions in faces. The mood of the participant was measured using the SPANA method (Russian adaptation of PANAS), emotional traits were assessed with subjective well-being, trait anxiety and depression level questionnaires. To measure the perception of emotion efficiency, a facial morphing task was used. The task identified two thresholds: perceptual and conceptual. The sample included 51 participants aged 17 to 30 years. It was found that the accuracy of recognition depends on the appearing emotion. A negative correlation between the sadness scores of the SPANA and the conceptual threshold for surprise was found. A positive correlation between the level of trait anxiety and the conceptual threshold for sadness was also found. The results obtained in the study may indicate that there is a relationship between mood, emotional traits and the perception of emotions. The results of various studies are ambiguous and contradictory, and so to obtain a more accurate picture further studies should be conducted using the emotion induction method, in order to increase the variability of moods.
