This paper aimed to explore the characteristics of emotional contagion in the elderly and its relationship with cognitive level by comparing facial muscle activity and subjective emotion scores between elderly and young participants (Experiment 1) as well as between elderly with mild cognitive impairment and healthy elderly (Experiment 2), finding that the elderly exhibited stronger contagion of happy emotions and that cognitive decline increased susceptibility to sad emotions.
The research aimed to create a reliable and valid questionnaire for assessing trait emotional contagion ability in Chinese college students. Through two studies, the final 12-item Emotional Contagion Ability Scale demonstrated high reliability and validity, providing a valid tool for laboratory-based emotional contagion research among college students.
This study investigates how cultural background influences emotion recognition, particularly in relation to emotional body language (EBL). The findings reveal that cultural context significantly impacts individuals' ability to recognize and interpret EBL, highlighting the importance of considering cultural nuances in cross-cultural communication.
This study explores the impact of makeup on emotional experiences during video chats, finding that makeup enhances perceived facial attractiveness, increases willingness to communicate, and weakens negative emotional experiences in response to angry and sad expressions. The research suggests that makeup influences emotional contagion and interpersonal communication, prompting consideration of the adaptiveness of the alleviated negative experiences associated with makeup use.
This study investigates the impact of cultural shifts on individual values, focusing on changes in ideal affect (IA) and emotional patterns from Traditionality to Modernity in Chinese society. Findings suggest that individuals with modern values exhibit higher arousal in their ideal affect, influencing emotional body language (EBL) recognition, while those with traditional values tend towards lower arousal and neutrality, indicating a correlation between cultural changes and emotional perception.
