Summary
This chapter proposes an overview of research conducted in recent years on emotion recognition accuracy (ERA). The focus is on outlining the main methods and findings, and also the complexity of the processes involved. Emotion recognition is multimodal (several interpersonal communication channels are involved, such as face, voice, body postures, and gestures) and it is probably as dependent on contextual and social cues as it is on individual skills. The chapter discusses issues related to what accurate emotion recognition is and how it can be estimated. The constructs involved in major studies of emotion recognition and the main processes involved in judging emotions are also addressed.
