Journal ArticleDOI

Faces in context: a review and systematization of contextual influences on affective face processing.

TL;DR: The studies reviewed here demonstrate that perception and neural processing of facial expressions are substantially modified by contextual information, including verbal, visual, and auditory information presented together with the face as well as knowledge or processing biases already present in the observer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is eye to eye contact really threatening and avoided in social anxiety? An eye-tracking and psychophysiology study

TL;DR: High socially anxious women tended to fixate the eye region of the presented face longer than MSA and LSA, respectively, and responded to direct gaze with more pronounced cardiac acceleration, indicating that direct gaze may be a fear-relevant feature for socially anxious individuals in social interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early cortical processing of natural and artificial emotional faces differs between lower and higher socially anxious persons

TL;DR: Investigating event-related potentials triggered by natural and artificial faces expressing fear, anger, happiness or no emotion in participants with low and high levels of social anxiety indicates that social anxiety influences early perceptual processing of faces and that artificial faces are suitable for psychophysiological emotion research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fear of negative evaluation and the hypervigilance-avoidance hypothesis: an eye-tracking study

TL;DR: Analysis of the time course of attention revealed that high FNE looked at the emotional faces longer during the first second of stimulus exposure, whereas they avoided these faces in the consecutive time interval from 1 to 1.5 s.
Journal ArticleDOI

Don't look at me in anger! Enhanced processing of angry faces in anticipation of public speaking.

TL;DR: The results indicate that fear of public speaking influences early perceptual processing of faces such that especially the processing of angry faces is facilitated.
