- A contextualized emotion perception assessment relates to personal and social well-beingPublication . Kafetsios, Konstantinos; Hess, Ursula; Dostal, Daniel; Seitl, Martin; Hypsova, Petra; Hareli, Shlomo; Alonso-Arbiol, Itziar; Schütz, Astrid; Gruda, Dritjon; Campbell, Kelly; Chen, Bin Bin; Held, Marco J.; Kamble, Shanmukh; Kimura, Takuma; Kirchner-Häusler, Alexander; Livi, Stefano; Mandal, Eugenia; Ochnik, Dominika; Sakman, Ezgi; Sumer, Nebi; Theodorou, Annalisa; Uskul, Ayse K.Emotion Recognition Accuracy (ERA) is vital for social functioning and social relationships, yet empirical support for a positive link with well-being has been sparse. In three studies, we show that the Assessment of Contextualized Emotions (ACE) which distinguishes between accurately perceiving intended emotions and bias due to perceiving additional, secondary emotions, consistently predicted personal and social well-being. Across thirteen world cultures, accuracy was associated with higher well-being and life satisfaction, and bias linked to loneliness. A social interaction study in Czech Republic found accuracy (bias) was positively (negatively) associated with social well-being. The effects of accuracy and bias on well-being were partially mediated by social interaction quality in a third study. These findings further our understanding of ERA's social functions.
- Higher social class is associated with higher contextualized emotion recognition accuracy across culturesPublication . Kafetsios, Konstantinos; Hess, Ursula; Alonso-Arbiol, Itziar; Schütz, Astrid; Gruda, Dritjon; Campbell, Kelly; Chen , Bin-Bin; Dostal, Daniel; Held, Marco J.; Hypsova, Petra; Kamble, Shanmukh; Kimura, Takuma; Kirchner-Häusler, Alexander; Kyvelea, Marina; Livi, Stefano; Mandal, Eugenia; Ochnik, Dominika; Papageorgakopoulos, Nektarios; Seitl, Martin; Sakman, Ezgi; Sumer, Nebi; Sulejmanov, Filip; Theodorou, Annalisa; Uskul, Ayse K.We tested links between social status and emotion recognition accuracy (ERA) with participants from a diverse array of cultures and a new model and method of ERA, the Assessment of Contextualized Emotion (ACE), which incorporates social context and is linked to different types of social interaction across cultures. Participants from the Czech Republic (Study 1) and from 12 cultural groups in Europe, North America, and Asia (Study 2) completed a short version of the ACE, a self-construal scale, and the MacArthur Subjective Social Status (SSS) scale. In both studies, higher SSS was associated with more accuracy. In Study 2, this relationship was mediated by higher independent self-construal and moderated by countries’ long-term orientation and relational mobility. The findings suggest that the positive association between higher social class and emotion recognition accuracy is due to the use of agentic modes of socio-cognitive reasoning by higher status individuals. This raises new questions regarding the socio-cultural ecologies that afford this relationship.
