Behavioral studies of emotion recognition in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have yielded mixed results. Most of the studies focused on emotion recognition abilities with regard to ASD using stimuli with unisensory modality, making it difficult to determine difficulties in real life emotion perception in ASD. Herein, we review the recent behavioral and cognitive neuroscience studies on emotion recognition functions in ASD, including both unisensory and multisensory emotional information, to elucidate the possible difficulties in emotion recognition in ASD. In our study, we discovered that people with ASD have problems in the process of integrating emotional information during emotion recognition tasks. The following four points are discussed: (1) The restrictions of previous studies, (2) deficits in emotion recognition in ASD especially in recognizing multisensory information, (3) possible compensation mechanisms for emotion recognition in ASD, and (4) the possible roles of attention and language functions in emotion recognition in ASD. The compensatory mechanisms proposed herein for ASD with regard to emotion recognition abilities could contribute to a therapeutic approach for improving emotion recognition functions in ASD.

정서를 측정하고 나타내는 기술이 발전에 따라 문화적 보편성을 가진 얼굴표정 연구의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 그리고 지금까지의 많은 얼굴 표정 연구들은 정적인 얼굴사진 위주로 이루어졌다. 그러나 실제 사람들은 단적인 얼굴표정만으로 정서를 인식하기 보다는 미묘한 표정의 변화나 얼굴근육의 움직임 등을 통해 정서상태를 추론한다. 본 연구는 동적인 얼굴표정이 정적인 얼굴표정 보다 정서상태 전달에서 더 큰 효과를 가짐을 밝히고, 동적인 얼굴 표정에서의 눈과 입의 정서인식 효과를 비교해 보고자 하였다. 이에 따라 15 개의 형용사 어휘에 맞는 얼굴 표정을 얼굴전체, 눈, 입의 세 수준으로 나누어 동영상과 스틸사진으로 제시하였다. 정서 판단의 정확성을 측정한 결과, 세 수준 모두에서 동영상의 정서인식 효과가 스틸사진 보다 유의미하게 높게 나타나 동적인 얼굴 표정이 더 많은 내적정보를 보여주는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 얼굴전체-눈-입 순서로 정서인식 효과의 차이가 유의미하게 나타났으며, 부정적 정서는 눈에서 더 잘 나타나고 긍정적 정서는 입에서 더 잘 나타났다. 따라서 눈과 입에 따른 정서인식이 정서의 긍정성-부정성 차원에 따라 달라짐을 볼 수 있었다.

기존의 표정인식 연구는 Ekman의 기본정서모형의 특에 의하여 표정인식이 이루어져왔다. 그러나 이러한 6가지 기본정서(행복, 놀람, 공포, 분노, 혐오, 슬픔)에 의한 표정인식은 6개 정서 중에서 선택하는 간제 선택법이 아닌 자유응답방식을 택했을때는 훨씬 인식률이 떨어진다. 이는 표정이 기본정서이외에도 여러 가지 미묘한 마음상태를 표현하고 있기 때문이다. 본 연구는 섬세한 표정인식을 우한 방법으로, 차원모형을 근거로 MLP를 적용한 표정인식을 수행하였다. 차원 모형에 의한 표정은 3가지 차원으로 하나의 표정을 이룬다. 3가지 차원은 쾌-불쾌, 각성-수면과 외부지향-내부지향이다. 3가지 차원을 갖는 각각의 표정은 MLP에 의하여 쾌-불쾌차원 68%, 각성-수면차원 60%, 외부지향-내부지향차원 76%의 인식률을 보였다. 연구결과에서 차원모형에 근거한 표정인식을 통하여 기존의 표정인식을 통하여 기존의 기본정서모형의 한계성을 극복하고 섬세한 표정인식을 수행할 수 있었다.

Mind reading is an essential part of normal social functioning and empathy plays a key role in social understanding. This study investigated how individual differences can have an effect on reading emotions in facial expressions, focusing on empathizing and systemizing. Two experiments were conducted. In study 1, participants performed emotion recognition test using facial expressions to investigate how emotion recognition can be different as empathy-systemizing type, facial areas, and emotion type. Study 2 examined how emotion recognition can be different as empathy-systemizing type, facial areas, and emotion type. An emotion discrimination test was used instead, with every other condition the same as in studies 1. Results from study 2 showed mostly same results as study 1: there were significant differences among facial areas and emotion type and also have an interaction effect between facial areas and emotion type. On the other hand, there was an interaction effect between empathy-systemizing type and emotion type in study 2. That is, how much people empathize and systemize can make difference in emotional discrimination. These results suggested that the empathy-systemizing type was more appropriate to explain emotion discrimination than emotion recognition.

In this paper, we propose an study of the facial emotion recognition considering the dynamical variation of emotional state in facial image sequences. The proposed system consists of two main step: facial image based emotional feature extraction and emotional state classification/recognition. At first, we propose a method for extracting and analyzing the emotional feature region using a combination of Active Shape Model (ASM) and Facial Action Units (FAUs). And then, it is proposed that emotional state classification and recognition method based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM) type of dynamic Bayesian network. Also, we adopt a Harmony Search (HS) algorithm based heuristic optimization procedure in a parameter learning of HMM in order to classify the emotional state more accurately. By using all these methods, we construct the emotion recognition system based on variations of the dynamic facial image sequence and make an attempt at improvement of the recognition performance.

The present study was aimed to verify the mediating effect of acceptance in the relationship between emotional clarity and satisfaction in romantic relationships. To this purpose, a self-reporting survey was conducted with 208 unmarried subjects ranging in age from 19-35 in Seoul and Gyeonggi region. SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 was used to analysis procedure. A summary of the research results are as follows. First, in the results of the correlation analysis on the primary factors, emotional clarity had a significant positive correlation with acceptance and satisfaction in romantic relationships, and acceptance had a positive correlation with satisfaction in romantic relationships. Second, the results of the structural equation analysis verified that emotional clarity had a direct positive effect on satisfaction in romantic relationships. Third, this study verified a partial positive mediating effect of acceptance in the relationship between emotional clarity and satisfaction in romantic relationships, and also verified the significance of the pathway. These results verify that emotional clarity has not only a direct effect on satisfaction in romantic relationships, but also an indirect effect through acceptance. Lastly, this study discussed significance and limitations of this study, as well as proposals for future research.

전자우편이나 문자 메세지를 이용할 때 겪는 불편함 중 하나는 상대방이나 기계에 정서 정보를 전달하기 어렵다는 점이다. 정서 정보를 메시지에 싣기 위해서는 컴퓨터나 디지털 기기가 정서를 인식하거나 사용자가 정서를 입력해야 한다. 기존의 정서 인식 방법은 생리적, 신체적 측정치를 이용하는 것인데, 이 경우 측정을 위한 별도의 장비가 필요하고 현재 자신의 정서 상태와 다른 정서를 표현할 수 없다는 단점이 있다. 특히 소형 모바일 기기를 이용할 때 다른 측정 장치를 사용하는 것은 더욱 어렵다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위해 모바일 기기를 사용하는 환경에서 사용자가 원하는 정서를 기계에 입력하기 위해 동작을 이용하려는 연구가 진행되었다(Fargerberg, Stahl, & Hook, 2003). 본 연구에서는 Laban Movement Analysis에서 동작을 구성하는 다섯 요소 중 노력(effort)과 모양(shape) 요소를 재구성하여, 방향성 차원, 무게감 차원, 시간감 차원으로 동작을 구분하고 총 20개의 동작을 선정하였다. 또한 한덕웅과 강혜자(2000)가 수집한 834개 정서 어휘를 평정하여 동작을 통해 표현하고 전달되기 쉬운 정서 어휘 50개를 선택하였다. 최종 실험에서 참가자들은 20개의 동작에 대해 50개의 정서 어휘를 평정하고 데이터는 범주형 주성분분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 Russell(1980)의 이차원 정서 구조 모형에서 각성 수준 차원은 동작의 무게감과 시간감 차원과 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 강하고 빠른 동작일수록 각성 수준이 높은 정서가 나타났다. 또한 동작의 방향성 차원은 정서의 종류와 관련이 있는 것으로 드러났다. 직선 움직임은 높은 각성 수준의 부정적 정서와, 흔듦 움직임은 불안 및 초조와, 원형 움직임은 즐거운 정서와 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 동작을 통하여 정서 정보를 효과적으로 전달할 수 있음을 보여주었고, 동작과 정서를 연관 짓기 위해 방향성 차원과 무게감 차원 그리고 시간감 차원을 고려할 필요가 있음을 시사한다.

The aim of the experimental studies described in this paper is to investigate the effects of the face/eye/mouth areas using dynamic facial expressions and static facial expressions on emotional recognition. Using seven-seconds-displays, experiment 1 for basic emotions and experiment 2 for complex emotions are executed. The results of two experiments supported that the effects of dynamic facial expressions are higher than static one on emotional recognition and indicated the higher emotional recognition effects of eye area on dynamic images than mouth area. These results suggest that dynamic properties should be considered in emotional study with facial expressions for not only basic emotions but also complex emotions. However, we should consider the properties of emotion because each emotion did not show the effects of dynamic image equally. Furthermore, this study let us know which facial area shows emotional states more correctly is according to the feature emotion.
