Facial emotional expressivity reliably signals political orientation. Studies found differences in self-reported and physiological expressivity, with more expressive faces perceived as more liberal.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Political Science
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Facial cues can predict political affiliation.
  • The specific facial features or processes involved are unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a theoretical account for why emotional expressivity signals political orientation.
  • To empirically test the link between emotional expressivity and political orientation.

Main Methods:

  • Four empirical studies were conducted.
  • Methods included self-report, physiological measurement of facial expressivity, perception studies of political elites, and an experiment linking expressivity to perceived ideology.

Main Results:

  • Statistically significant differences in emotional expressivity were found between liberals and conservatives.
Keywords:
