from Part I - Basic Processes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 December 2023
An important part of human interaction is the communication of emotions. Emotions can be expressed nonverbally, via the face, the voice, touch and even smell, but also, albeit more rarely verbally, by stating how one feels. Emotion expressions signal not only internal states, but also provide information about the context of the event that elicited the emotion. Facets of the context influence the perception of emotions, and in turn emotions impact person perception. This chapter provides a general overview of the processes underlying emotion perception and person perception and how these processes may be affected as a function of aging.
