6. Visual Perception of the Facial Width-to-Height Ratio : Possible Influences of Angry Facial Expressions as Revealed by Event-Related Brain Potentials
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskapAbstract : The facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) is a measure of the cheekbone width divided by the height of the face from the upper lip to the brows. The metric is hypothesised to have evolved as an intra-sexual competition mechanism in males, where large fWHRs are thought to signal both threat and aggression. READ MORE

7. Facial age and anger expression : An event-related brain potential study
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskapAbstract : The perception of human faces is affected by different facial features. For example, older faces are processed differently to younger ones and faces expressing diverse emotions are also processed differently. READ MORE

8. Threatening Measures, at Face Value : Electrophysiology Indicating Confounds of the Facial Width-to-Height Ratio
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskapAbstract : Previous studies support that the relative width of the upper face (facial width-to-height ratio; fWHR) has evolved to signal threat, but these studies rely greatly on subjective facial ratings and measurements prone to confounds. The present study objectively quantifies threat perception to the magnitude of the observers’ electrophysiological reaction, specifically the event-related potential (ERP) called the late positive potential (LPP), and investigate if brow height and jaw width could have confounded previous fWHR studies.

9. Social threat processing and emotional arousal : Associations between the Late Positive Potential and aggressive tendencies
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskapAbstract : Aggressive behaviour can be defined as actions that are believed and intended to cause harm to another individual that does not desire to be the target of such actions. Different situations can warrant aggressive behaviour, such as when an individual is posed with a threat. READ MORE

10. Thinking things over : The electrophysiology and temporal dynamics of self- and situation-focused reappraisal
University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskapAbstract : Cognitive reappraisal is an emotion regulation strategy that has been shown effective in down-regulating negative emotions in both psychological and electrophysiological measures. Although there are many studies on cognitive reappraisal, only recently have there been studies differentiating between various ways of employing the strategy. READ MORE
