Abstract

In the context of the debate on the universality of expression and recognition of facial expression, we studied how people perceive different emotions in the same facial expression and the role of experience, within different cultures, in this process. Twelve facial expressions obtained from the Diagnostic Analysis of Nonverbal Accuracy-Adult Faces (DANVA) were used, administering an emotional recognition task to 90 subjects (Mexican and Spanish).Faced with the expression of anger, the Mexican sample perceived to a lesser extent non-predominant emotions, compared to the Spanish sample.The results are discussed within the Neo- Darwinian theories of emotion, understanding that it could be derived from the bias generated by the greater negative experience that the Mexican population has.
