          Abstract

          Resumen Las diferencias de género en el reconocimiento de las emociones podrían deberse a una mayor sensibilidad de las mujeres a las señales sutiles de las expresiones faciales. El objetivo de esta investigación consistió en analizar las diferencias de género en la valoración de los cambios en la intensidad emocional de las expresiones faciales de alegría y tristeza. La muestra estuvo formada por 222 participantes (77.5% mujeres), con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 30 años. Se utilizaron expresiones faciales ambiguas con diferentes porcentajes de alegría y tristeza (ambigüedad alta: 50%-50%, ambigüedad media: 25%-75%, ambigüedad baja: 0%-100%). Los participantes valoraron en qué grado una expresión ambigua reflejaba mayor intensidad emocional (alegría o tristeza) que una expresión neutra. Las mujeres percibieron mayor intensidad emocional en las expresiones de alegría con ambigüedad media (25% tristeza - 75% alegría) en comparación con los hombres. Además, solo las mujeres percibieron mayor intensidad afectiva en las expresiones de alegría (25% tristeza - 75% alegría) respecto a las de tristeza (75% tristeza - 25% alegría) con ambigüedad media. Se discuten los resultados a partir de la teoría del rol social, y se analizan sus implicaciones dentro del complejo contexto social en el que interaccionan los seres humanos.

          Abstract Differences between men and women in the recognition of emotions could be due to the greater sensitivity of women to the subtle signals of emotional facial expressions. The objective of this research was to analyze gender differences in the assessment of changes in the emotional intensity of facial expressions of happiness and sadness. The sample comprised 222 participants (77.5% women) aged between 18 and 30 years. Ambiguous facial expressions were presented with different percentages of happiness and sadness (high ambiguity: 50% -50%; medium ambiguity: 25% -75%; low ambiguity: 0% -100%). The participants rated the degree to which an ambiguous expression reflected greater emotional intensity (happiness or sadness) than a neutral expression. Under conditions of medium ambiguity (25% sadness - 75% happiness), greater emotional intensity in expressions of happiness was perceived by women than men. Also under medium ambiguity, women perceived greater affective intensity in expressions of happiness (25% sadness - 75% happiness) than in expressions of sadness (75% sadness - 25% happiness). The results are discussed from the perspective of social role theory, and their implications are analyzed within the complex social context in which human beings interact.

            The NimStim set of facial expressions: judgments from untrained research participants.

            A set of face stimuli called the NimStim Set of Facial Expressions is described. The goal in creating this set was to provide facial expressions that untrained individuals, characteristic of research participants, would recognize. This set is large in number, multiracial, and available to the scientific community online. The results of psychometric evaluations of these stimuli are presented. The results lend empirical support for the validity and reliability of this set of facial expressions as determined by accurate identification of expressions and high intra-participant agreement across two testing sessions, respectively.
