Asymmetries of influence: differential effects of body postures on perceptions of emotional facial expressions.

The accuracy and speed with which emotional facial expressions are identified is influenced by body postures. Two influential models predict that these congruency effects will be largest when the emotion displayed in the face is similar to that displayed in the body: the emotional seed model and the...
