How have researchers collected evidence that there are six major human emotions conveyed via facial expressions?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Researchers such as Ekman and Friesen (1971) have conducted a series of cross-cultural studies, the most famous of which are the studies they conducted in an isolated part of New Guinea, where inhabitants had never seen Westerners. The New Guineans were able to match Western facial expressions with stories associated with various emotions. When the people in New Guinea posed facial expressions for photographs, Westerners could also recognize the emotions they portrayed. These studies provide convincing support for the assertion that there are a "big six" universally encoded and decoded facial expressions of emotions.
