Dear all, I am currently advertising for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join my lab at Bournemouth University (UK) for an initial period of 12 months. The successful applicant will be contributing to the lab's core research programme investigating the cognitive and neural basis of developmental prosopagnosia. In addition, the post-holder will carry out some pilot work examining face processing skills in dementia. Please see the full advert using the link below, or contact me for more information (sbate(a)bournemouth.ac.uk<mailto:sbate@bournemouth.ac.uk>). http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AFA855/postdoctoral-research-fellow-in-psychology/ Best wishes, Sarah Dr Sarah Bate Senior Lecturer in Psychology Bournemouth University [http://www.bournemouth.ac.uk/Images/QueensAwardLogo.jpg] BU is a Disability Two Ticks Employer and has signed up to the Mindful Employer charter.

validation of social perception measures on the web
by Laura Germine 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

As so many of you are doing web experiments or interested in web experiments, I thought I'd share our recent paper comparing data from web and lab samples for different measures including face and emotion recognition: Germine, L., Nakayama, K., Duchaine, B.C., Chabris, C.F., Chatterjee, G., & Wilmer, J.B. (in press). Is the web as good as the lab? Comparable findings from Web and lab in cognitive/perceptual experiments. *Psychonomic Bulletin & Review.* <http://www.lauragermine.org/articles/germine_pbr2012.pdf> Essentially we find comparable means, standard deviations, and internal reliability for web and lab-based samples on these tests. We hope it'll be a resource for other researchers who are thinking about using web-based methods and those who want to address reviewer skepticism about web methods for face recognition research. Please let me know if you have questions. Best, Laura -- http://www.lauragermine.org/ http://www.testmybrain.org/

Literature on ambiguos facial expression.
by Michal Olszanowski 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Dear All, I'm looking for a literature on social perception on ambiguous facial expression. I have a feeling that there's not many on this – except perception of displayed emotion and the influence of the context and individual differences (e.g. anxiety). However, what I’m looking for is how people interpreted the meaning of ambiguous emotional expression during social interaction (e.g. what are displayer’s intention or action request?). Secondly, do you know any literature showing that negative/angry display might be less readable than positive displays in terms of displayer’s intention and action request? There’s a lot of literature that show influence of culture/social norms on facial expression during social interaction, e.g. western cultures are less likely to show anger to strangers (cause it might be acknowledge as impolite). So, during social interaction we should rather expect stranger to smile than to frown. Consequently, if someone is smiling it is natural that he/she’s trying to be nice, on the other hand if he/she’s showing anger, there might be a lot of reasons for such a behavior and his/her intention remain unclear… I don’t know whether you’d support my way of thinking, but if you do, and additionally have some research on this, please let me know! :-) I’d appreciate your help!
