Research Abstract

The present study investigated the psychophysiological mechanisms under facial feedback phenomenon, which refers that facial musculature alters emotional experiences. We measured neural activities (via event-related potential; ERP) and cardiac activities of participants who performed a kind of gambling task. In one experiment, participants unintentionally manipulated their facial muscles during the task. In the other experiment, participants intentionally regulate the magnitude of their emotional experience on the task. ERP results as well as behavioral data suggest that facial manipulation affect earlier and automatic process.
