Dear colleagues,
We are carrying out a meta-analysis of the research literature on spontaneous mimicry of emotional facial expressions. Having already coded most of the published work on this topic, we would now be grateful for your help in identifying any relevant unpublished research or in press papers or chapters -- or indeed any published work that is unlikely to have been identified by a database search focusing on mimicry-related keywords.
Relevant studies are those in which participants were presented with facial expressions of emotion (e.g., drawings, still photos, avatars, video-taped persons, actors, real participants, etc., showing expressions of happiness, anger, sadness, pain, disgust, etc.) and participants’ spontaneous facial reactions to these stimuli were measured (usually by EMG or behavioral coding procedures such as FACS). Our current plan is not to include studies that (a) examined mimicry of gestures, mannerisms, or non-emotional facial displays; (b) used instructed mimicry procedures; or (c) are based on clinical samples only.
Please either send us the relevant information (e.g., a manuscript) by e-mail or submit it through our website at:
http://www.unipark.de/uc/mimicry/
Studies that did not yield significant results are of course just as relevant and important as those that did. Please do not hesitate to contact us at if you have any questions. Your help is much appreciated!
With best wishes,
Tony Manstead and Martin Bruder
