Skin deep: How scientists are studying facial expressions
:explode:
Roles of expectations and assumptions in perceiving
When perceiving new knowledge, we often have our own mindsets of how it should be.
These mindsets are formed by expectations that are based on past experiences and are specific to certain situations.
One example is the facial expressions made by people. We often assert that someone is angry when they
scowl
or when their eyebrows
furrow
. This could be because we've experienced being furious or being mad at. These
past experiences shape
how we perceive other people's emotions even though it can be
inaccurate
at times.
Expectations & assumptions play as a way in which knowledge is first acquired
It is based on our memory or the ordinary things that we see, hear and touch for the first time
For instance, when we see strangers' facial expression for the first time, we are able to know their feelings towards us indirectly. From there, we have already had the assumption on the feelings based on facial expression. Thus we perceive the knowledge by our assumptions and expectations
Knowledge Claim: Facial Expressions Reflect Our True Feeling
How expectations and assumptions have an impact in perceiving
Assumptions make us biased when perceiving
Everyone has unconcious or implicit bias. Our expectations and assumptions cloud our opinions. Thus, it can lead to an inaccurate perception towards the knowledge claims
For an example, sometimes we thought that a person is mad at us because of their facial expression. We are influenced by the thought that when someone look at us with grumpy face, they are mad or angry at us but we don't know that maybe they just had a very bad day and they just can't smile because of their tiredness.
This unconscious bias set our mind into believing something without knowing the truth
Expectations alter our perception of quality.
People tend to agree based on what they have told even though the informations is incorrect.
One such example is when we believe that we can use facial expression to communicate how we're feeling because we have been told about it. In fact, facial expressions does not really represent our feelings because we usually show our happy face on the outside but we actually suffer on the inside.
