Abstract
(from the chapter) The empirical literature demonstrates that vocal expressions of anger are recognized at levels far exceeding chance. Further, several acoustic features of anger expressions, including intensity, rate, and pitch, appear to serve as the basis for recognition. The standard experimental paradigm for demonstrating recognition of anger involves actors creating the vocal expressions, pre-selection of stimuli and judges, and forced-choice paradigms for the judges to respond. The possible limitations of this kind of approach are reviewed along with the dominant theories of emotions that are behind the empirical studies. Recent work on embodied cognition as it relates to emotional expressions and suggestions for future studies is discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved) (chapter)
