Emotion in the neutral face: a mechanism for impression formation?Reginald B Adams
Department of Psychology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802 3103, USA
Cogn Emot 26:431-41. 2012....- Amygdala responses to averted vs direct gaze fear vary as a function of presentation speedReginald B Adams
Department of Psychology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA
Soc Cogn Affect Neurosci 7:568-77. 2012..Together, these studies provide evidence consistent with an early, reflexive amygdala response tuned to clear threat and a later reflective response tuned to ambiguous threat... 
Differentially tuned responses to restricted versus prolonged awareness of threat: a preliminary fMRI investigationReginald B Adams
Department of Psychology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, United States
Brain Cogn 77:113-9. 2011..These findings highlight a distinct dual function in threat perception...- Cross-cultural reading the mind in the eyes: an fMRI investigationReginald B Adams
The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA
J Cogn Neurosci 22:97-108. 2010..These findings offer preliminary support for cultural consistency in the neurological architecture subserving high-level mental state reasoning, as well as its differential recruitment based on cultural group membership... - Culture, gaze and the neural processing of fear expressionsReginald B Adams
Department of Psychology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA
Soc Cogn Affect Neurosci 5:340-8. 2010..These findings reveal a meaningful role of culture in the processing of eye gaze and emotion, and highlight their interactive influences in neural processing... - The neural basis of categorical face perception: graded representations of face gender in fusiform and orbitofrontal corticesJonathan B Freeman
Department of Psychology, Tufts University, Medford, MA 02155, USA
Cereb Cortex 20:1314-22. 2010..The attention-independent graded representations of face gender in fusiform and orbitofrontal cortices reveal how objective face parameters are encoded and transformed into subjective categorically warped perceptions in the human brain... - Mental state decoding abilities in young adults with borderline personality disorder traitsLori N Scott
Department of Psychology, Penn State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA
Personal Disord 2:98-112. 2011..These findings suggest that BPD traits may be associated with enhanced ability to detect negative emotions and a bias for attributing negative emotions to nonnegative social stimuli... - More than meets the eye: the role of self-identity in decoding complex emotional statesMichael T Stevenson
Department of Psychology, The Pennsylvania State University, USA
Emotion 12:882-6. 2012..These findings suggest that impaired emotional state decoding across groups may thus be more amenable to remediation than previously realized... - Accuracy and awareness in the perception and categorization of male sexual orientationNicholas O Rule
Department of Psychology, Tufts University, Medford, MA 02155, USA
J Pers Soc Psychol 95:1019-28. 2008..Differences in the accuracy of judgments based on targets' controllability and perceivers' awareness of cues provides insight into the processes underlying intuitive predictions and intuitive judgments... - Polling the face: prediction and consensus across culturesNicholas O Rule
Department of Psychology, Tufts University Medford, Massachusetts 02155, USA
J Pers Soc Psychol 98:1-15. 2010..Therefore, perceivers can reliably infer predictive information from faces but require knowledge about the target's culture to make these predictions accurately... - Gender moderates the relationship between emotion and perceived gazeMichael L Slepian
Department of Psychology, Tufts University, USA
Emotion 11:1439-44. 2011..Study 2 established that these results were due to facial morphology and not to gender stereotypes. Thus, the morphology of male and female faces amplifies or constrains emotional signals and accordingly alters gaze perception... 
Personality in perspective: judgmental consistency across orientations of the faceNicholas O Rule
Department of Psychology, Tufts University, 490 Boston Avenue, Medford, MA 02155, USA
Perception 38:1688-99. 2009..These findings therefore show that perceptions of full faces lead to relatively similar interferences across both viewing angle and time...- The two sides of beauty: laterality and the duality of facial attractivenessRobert G Franklin
Department of Psychology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802 3103, United States
Brain Cogn 72:300-5. 2010..This finding is consistent with the assertion that sexual and nonsexual preferences involve predominantly lateralized processing routes that independently contribute to what is perceived to be attractive... - Culture shapes a mesolimbic response to signals of dominance and subordination that associates with behaviorJonathan B Freeman
Department of Psychology, Tufts University, 490 Boston Avenue, Medford, MA 02155, USA
Neuroimage 47:353-9. 2009..The findings provide a first demonstration that culture can flexibly shape functional activity in the mesolimbic reward system, which in turn may guide behavior... - Not so black and white: memory for ambiguous group membersKristin Pauker
Department of Psychology, Tufts University, Boston, MA 02155, USA
J Pers Soc Psychol 96:795-810. 2009..Thus, memory for biracial individuals seems to involve a flexible person construal process shaped by motivational factors... - I feel your pain: emotional closeness modulates neural responses to empathically experienced rejectionJoseph E Beeney
Department of Psychology, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA
Soc Neurosci 6:369-76. 2011..Further, we found that the inferior frontal gyrus, critical for representing others' mental and emotional states, mediates the relationship between emotional closeness and neural responses to watching the rejection of a friend... - The reward of a good joke: neural correlates of viewing dynamic displays of stand-up comedyRobert G Franklin
Department of Psychology, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA
Cogn Affect Behav Neurosci 11:508-15. 2011..These findings indicate that dynamic social displays of humor do engage reward responses. The rewarding nature of humor may help explain why it is so valued socially... - Us and them: memory advantages in perceptually ambiguous groupsNicholas O Rule
Department of Psychology, Tufts University, Medford, Massachusetts 02155, USA
