- Abstract
This study investigated whether the structure of emotion space would change over time. Six sets of basic facial expressions were obtained from Ekman & Friesen's (1976) Pictures of facial affect. We divided each expression process into ten temporal segments. Facial images were morphed by a computer, each consisting of a series of faces differing by a constant physical amount, as they change from the neutral expression to the maximal. Participants rated those facial images by a 6-point Likert-type scale. Multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis revealed that various emotion categories fell into the same cluster at various steps from the segment 1 to 4, and that positions of emotion categories formed a circumplex at the segment 5, and that the circumplex pattern was fixed from the segment 6 to 10. It was suggested that there was a critical point of the change of emotion space between segment 4 and 5.
