The
purpose of the present study is to show whether the cultural influence
brings a change in designating a particular emotional context represented
in face. Forty three Indian Subjects are asked to choose the appropriate
statement amongst the statements given in a prearranged form, for
each of the 13 photographs in Lightfoot series. Result shows variations
in agreement for some of the photographs in comparison to those given
in the Lightfoot series. In a second study, it has been attempted
to see whether the persons who are actively involved in dealing with
facial expressions of emotions by their profession differ significantly
from those who are not so, in rating the 13 photographs of Lightfoot
series. The result shows statistically insignificant difference.
