Using FaceReader to explore the potential for harnessing emotional reactions to motivate hand hygiene
S. Rutter, M. Bonne, C. Stones, C. Macduff
This study suggests that handwashing messages should be designed to exploit emotional reactions, but more research is needed to understand how to design for these reactions. Whether disgust as important post Covid-19 requires future investigation. FaceReader can be usefully and inexpensively employed to pre-test messages.

Risk, Trust, and Emotion in Online Pharmacy Medication Purchases: Multimethod Approach Incorporating Customer Self-Reports, Facial Expressions, and Neural Activation (Preprint)
S. Ersöz, A. Nissen, R. Schütte
BACKGROUND: Online pharmacies are used less than other e-commerce sites in Germany. Shopping behavior does not correspond to consumption behavior, as online purchases predominantly made for over-the-counter (OTC) medications. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to understand the purchasing experiences of pharmacy customers in terms of critical factors for adoption. METHODS: This examined perceived risk, trust, and emotions related to medications and, consequently, purchase intention toward pharmacies. In a within-subjects design (N=37 participants), 2 German with different perceptions of risk, trust, were investigated their main business, namely OTC and prescription drugs. results preliminary led 1 high significantly low self-reported by prestudy sample. Emotions measured multimethod approach during and after situation follows: (1) neural evaluation processes using functional near-infrared spectroscopy, (2) automated direct motor response use via facial expression analysis (FaceReader), and (3) subjective evaluations through self-reports.

Specifics of the Emotional Response of Patients Suffering From Major Depressive Disorder to Imagined Basic Tastes of Food
L. Jarutiene, V. Adomaitiene, V. Steibliene, G. Juodeikiene, D. Cernauskas, D. Klupsaite, V. Lele, E. Milasauskiene, E. Bartkiene
Nowadays, major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common disease that negatively affects the life quality of many people around the world. As MDD symptoms are closely related with changes in food and eating, relation between patients’ emotional responses to tastes could be used as criteria for diagnostic. Until now, studies on response to different tastes have been poorly described in literature. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the response of patients suffering from MDD and compare results with control group. Emotional responses were tested using cards and words of basic tastes such as “sweet,” “salty,” “bitter,” “sour,” and “neutral.” The assessment was performed using FaceReader 6 software. The outcome showed that participants expressed lower “happy” and “contempt” emotions, along with negative valence (mean, in comparison to controls), for all basic tastes (p ≤ 0.05). When a Likert scale was used, significant differences (p ≤ 0.001) were found only for “sour” and “salty” imaginary tastes in the MDD group, in comparison to the healthy group. These findings provide additional data for food-associated emotion analysis and are useful for further development of contactless method for early diagnosis of MDD.

The Effectiveness of Facial Expression Recognition in Detecting Emotional Responses to Sound Interventions in Older Adults With Dementia
Y. Liu, Z. Wang, G. Yu
This research uses facial expression recognition software (FaceReader) to explore the influence of different sound interventions on the emotions of older people with dementia. The field experiment was carried out in a public activity space in an adult care facility. Three intervention sources were used, namely, music, stream, and birdsong. Data collected through the Self-Assessment Manikin Scale (SAM) were compared with (FER) data. FaceReader identified differences in emotional responses. Participants had significantly higher valence for all three interventions than without (p < 0.01). Indices of sadness, fear, disgust differed between interventions. For example, before the start of birdsong intervention, the index initially increased by 0.06 from 0 s to about 20 s, followed by a linear downward trend, an average reduction of 0.03 per s. In addition, arousal was lower when interventions began before, rather than concurrently with, the start of birdsong (p < 0.01). Moreover, stream interventions, there were significant days (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01). Furthermore, age and gender. Finally, comparison of SAM and FER results showed that music (first 80 s) helps predict dominance (r = 0.600), acoustic comfort (r = 0.545); birdsong (first 40 s) predicts pleasure (r = 0.770), acoustic comfort (r = 0.766); and music (r = 0.824), birdsong (r = 0.891).

Expressions of anger during advising on life dilemmas predict suicide risk among college students
C. Hu, J. Huang, C. Huang, M. Munroe, D. Xie, M. Li
Research has demonstrated a relationship between anger and suicidality, while real-time, authentic emotions behind facial expressions could be detected during advising on hypothetical protagonists in life dilemmas. This study aimed to investigate the predictive validity of anger for suicide risk. Besides advising on dilemmas (a friend’s betrayal, an attempt), 130 adults completed the Suicidal Scale and the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview. Participants’ advice-giving was measured 29 times/s by artificial intelligence (AI)-based software (FaceReader 7.1). The results showed that anger was a significant predictor. Increased anger was associated with higher suicide risk. In contrast, there was no correlation between risk duration or length of advising. Therefore, measuring micro-expressions with AI-based software may help detect anger among clinical patients in both traditional and online counseling contexts to prevent suicide.

Moderation Effect of Emotional Expressivity on the Associations Between Schizotypal Traits, Autistic Traits and Social Pleasure
L. Zhang, M. Wang, X. Fu, S. Chen, J. Gu, S. Li, M. Chu, Y. Wang, Y. Wang, R. C. K. Chan
Diminished social pleasure has been reported in people with schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Previous studies suggested that emotional expressivity is closely correlated with social pleasure. However, the underlying psychological mechanisms between traits related to ASD, expressivity, and social pleasure remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between subclinical schizotypal, autistic traits, facial expressions, and social pleasure. Eighty-six healthy participants (mean age = 20.35 ± 0.26 years, 44 males) were recruited to complete an emotion elicitation task by recalling memories, while their expressions were videotaped for computerized analysis using FaceReader. The intensity of different emotions (happy, sad, angry, surprised, scared, disgusted), valence, and arousal were extracted. Self-report Multidimensional Schizotypy Scale (MSS), Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ), and Anticipatory-Consummatory Interpersonal Pleasure (ACIPS) were administered to measure traits. Partial correlation and moderation analysis were performed. Both schizotypal and autistic traits were negatively correlated with social pleasure. Emotional expressivity had a significant moderating effect on the associations between schizotypal traits and social pleasure, and between autistic traits and social pleasure. Specifically, angry expression moderated the positive association between schizotypy and pleasure, and negative associations between autistic traits and pleasure. In addition, scared and surprised expressions moderated the associations between schizotypy and pleasure. Our findings identified the moderating role of emotional expressivity on the links between schizotypal and autistic traits and social pleasure, thereby revealing possible psychological mechanisms shared by both schizotypal and autistic traits, and highlighting potential targets for interventions in related psychopathological populations.
