Social Anxiety and Perception of Smiles: An Application of Signal Detection Theory
Abstract
The present study examined the effect of social anxiety on perception of Duchenne smile by applying a signal detection theory. Two hundred and thirty one undergraduate students completed measures of social anxiety and depression. Based on total social anxiety scores, subjects who were in the upper 20% were selected to be in the high social anxiety group, and those who were in lower 20% were selected to be in the low social anxiety group. In the experiment, 34 subjects (19 subjects in the high social anxiety group and 15 subjects in the low social anxiety group) participated. After 20 videos of smiling individuals (10 Duchenne smiles and 10 non-Duchenne smiles) were presented, participants were asked to discriminate whether the smile was genuine(Duchenne) or fake(non-Duchenne). Then, to control the effect of the attractiveness of the smiling individuals on the perceptions of the Duchenne smile, the attractiveness of each individual was measured. The results showed a significant difference in response bias between the high social anxiety group and the low social anxiety group. However, the difference between the groups was not significant when the levels of depression symptoms were controlled. The results suggest that people with high social anxiety tend to judge Duchenne smiles as fake smiles, though it does not seem to be a feature unique feature to individuals with social anxiety.
