hahaha i think you were the only person who read the research part. it probably means you process emotions normally. or something.

I read it. I found it interesting, but I don't read faces very well.

The first one, the migraine pill, looks confused to me.
The second one looks like a distressed fashion model, with fancy makeup running down her face.
Maybe she's too old to be a Covergirl model any more? Poor baby. :lol: :wink:

My first response was 'none' and when I really tried to force it my answer stayed 'none'. Which fits the theory as I'm depressed (not sad).

It looks neutral. Maybe a bit puzzled.
I don't see negative emotions and I definitely don't see positive emotions even when I try to.

To me, the pill packet looked happy with a tinge of surprise, as if someone had just done something nice for him unexpectedly.

The "emo wall" looks as if it has gone through a state of shock triggered by something such as a loved one dying in front of them, and now it can't control its emotions.

I saw a positive face and I feel depressed and anxious. I think that my feelings have nothing to do with my reaction of the picture.
I just really like the picture. It was artistic and interesting so it made me feel that is was positive.

Looked sad to me; but then the image did take 30 seconds to slowly download in front of me (dial-up internet).
The eyes reminded me of marvin the paranoid android for some reason and he was always gloomy.

basically.... your mood can apparently affect how you interpret neutral faces. a neutral face may appear negative to a depressed person and positive to a cheerful person. did you find that this was true for you?

Quote:

Researchers assemble a series of photos showing various facial expressions: sadness, fear, happiness, and "neutral" . They present them slide-show fashion to a group of people, asking them to identify the expressions. "Normal" people identify the expressions predictably. But cheerful people see the faces through rose-tinted glasses: They are much more likely to judge neutral expressions as the face of happiness. So even in a grey world, the cheerful personality finds reason to smile and wave. Everyone else is happy, too!

I wrote my answer while having a severe drug interaction which caused a frightening array of
symptoms. I guess that influenced my interpretation, huh?

...also...

Quote:

In conclusion, it seems that clinical depression does not affect the recognition of happy and sad faces as much as it affects the recognition of neutral faces. So far, researchers have been primarily interested in studying the effects of depression on the processing of emotional instead of neutral facial expressions. The present study was based on earlier findings suggesting that healthy subjects recognize neutral faces in the same way that they recognize other facial expressions (i.e., categorically), but that depression may impair this ability. Consistent with this hypothesis, it was shown that healthy subjects recognized neutral faces as accurately as prototypical facial expressions of happiness and sadness, while depressed patients showed a clear impairment in the recognition of neutral facial expressions. This impairment was also evident during symptom remission. Together, these results support the hypothesis that depressed individuals may interpret emotionally neutral social cues as emotionally meaningful

(i used a picture of a non-human "face" because it seems like different people's faces have variable and unintentional emotions when they are supposed to seem neutral)

I would say fear or physical exertion what with the wide eyes, crinkling, and shadows.
