Tests conducted at the University of
Pennsylvania's Psychological Laboratory showed that anger is one of the most
difficult emotions to detect from facial expression. Professor Dallas E. Buzby
confronted 716 students with pictures of extremely angry persons, and asked them
to identify the emotion from facial expression. Only 2 percent made correct
judgments. Anger was most frequently judged as "pleased." And a typical reaction
of a student with the picture of a man who was hopping mad was to classify his
expression as either "bewildered", "quizzical", or simply "amazed". Other
students showed that it is extremely difficult to tell whether a man is angry or
not just by looking at his face. The investigators found further that women are
better at detecting anger from facial expression than men are. Paradoxically,
they found that psychological training does not sharpen one's ability to judge a
man's emotions by his expressions but appears actually to hinder it. For in the
university tests, the more courses the subjects had taken in psychology, the
poorer judgment scores he turned in.
