問題詳情

▲ 閱讀下文,回答第 26−30 題 There are many scientific studies on innate versus culture-specific expressions of emotion.Researchers found more support for facial expressions as innate, universal indicators ofparticular emotions. For instance, Charles Darwin's evidence for universality was the answers toseveral questions he sent to many Englishmen living in different parts of the world. They wrotethat they saw the same expressions of emotion in these foreign countries as they had known inEngland, leading Darwin to say: “…the same state of mind is expressed throughout the worldwith remarkable uniformity…”Echoing Darwin's claims, Paul Ekman conducted a cross-cultural study on facialexpressions and emotions. In his study, Paul Ekman took photographs of people showingdifferent emotions. He then asked people in various cultures to indicate what emotions werebeing described in the photographs. Those participants ranged from European universitystudents to the Fore people, a tribe that lives in Papua New Guinea and had almost no contactwith Western culture. Ekman found a high agreement across members of different Western andEastern cultures, including the Fore, on selecting emotional labels that fit facial expressions.Researchers generally agree that facial expressions reflect emotional states. Thefacial-feedback hypothesis argues, however, that the movement of our facial muscles cantrigger corresponding emotions. For instance, causing an individual in experiments tosmile during a social event will lead the participants to report more positive feelings andactually come to find the event more of an enjoyable experience.
