Understanding and Assessing Nonverbal Expressiveness: The Affective Communication Test.

TLDR
The concept of nonverbal emotional expressiveness was explored through the development of a 13-item self-report Affective Communication Test (ACT) as mentioned in this paper, which was used to measure individual differences in expressiveness or what is sometimes called ''charisma''.
Abstract
The concept of nonverbal emotional expressiveness was explored through the development of a 13-item self-report Affective Communication Test (ACT). Studies reported here show the ACT to be a reliable and valid measure of individual differences in expressiveness or what is sometimes called \"charisma.\" In the course of the validation, expressiveness was shown to be a likely element of social influence in face-to-face interaction, a logical extension of past approaches to a basic element of personality (exhibition), and a valuable construct in approaching current problems in nonverbal communication research. The measure (and the concept it represents) suggests a new approach for personality research on emotional expression, studies of individual differences in nonverbal communication, and research on the process of face-to-face interaction.

Cognitive, social, and physiological determinants of emotional state.

TL;DR: The problem of which cues, internal or external, permit a person to label and identify his own emotional state has been with us since the days that James (1890) first tendered his doctrine that "the bodily changes follow directly the perception of the exciting fact, and that our feeling of the same changes as they occur is the emotion" (p. 449) as mentioned in this paper.
