display rules
Your face follows rules dictated by your culture.
Cultural 'display rules' govern when and how you express emotions.
Ekman and Friesen, 1969, Psychiatry
Your expressions are a language as well as a reaction.
Where this comes from
- Study
- Ekman and Friesen, 1969, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology
- What the check found
- The definition of 'display rules' is correct, but the specific citation to the 1969 JPSP paper is inaccurate. The seminal 1969 theory paper was in Psychiatry, while their later empirical work was in JPSP.
- Confidence
- Solid, with limits
