| Research Abstract |
It is known widely that the face conveys psychological and social messages such as personality and some social attributes. The communicative acts by facial features and by facial expression have some display-decoding rules. The social skills in relation to social context play important role in developing interpersonal relationships. The concept of social skills is an useful comprehensive idea to understand interpersonal relationships and social adaptation in relation to interpersonal closeness. This study clarified the effect of social skills (encoding, ACT) and personality traits including social extraversion and psychological stability (neuroticism) on facial expression. Also, we investigated the significant relationships between the facial features and stereotyped personality characteristics. The interrelationships between the SP's (male and female students; encoder's) social skill and Ss' (male and female students; decoder's) skill were considered carefully in relation to facial expression experiment. High ACT Ss were good senders of their positive-negative emotion as predicted. Secondly, decoder's ACT was effective to decoding the emotion. The effect of SP's ACT was significant of pleasantness rating and accuracy of expression in the pleasant emotion. The unpleasant expression was regarded as the expression of unstable-anxious personality across sex conditions. Some facial features of were interpreted as SP's personality characteristics, so those relationships showed us some stereotyped perception of face existed widely. On the other hand, SP's own personality characteristics were not consistent with recognized characteristics by Ss. It is necessary to confirm the interrelationships between sending and receiving the messages in relation to the senders' facial features.
