From: Verbal instructions override the meaning of facial expressions
Self-reported threat (A), valence (B), and arousal (C) ratings as a function of facial expression (happy, angry) and instructions (threat, safety). The left side illustrates overall means (with SEM) averaged across experimental blocks and orders. On the right side, separate means are plotted for each order. The angry-happy order started with angry facial expression cueing threat during the instantiation block and happy faces cueing threat during the following reversal block. For the happy-angry order, instructed threat/safety contingencies were vice versa.
