Today’s Parade Magazine had an article on the teen brain. To show how teen brains are different, they had a photo of a woman as a test. Supposedly, 100% of adults guessed her emotion correctly, but only 50% of teens did. It seems I’m not part of that 100%. Honestly, I don’t know. :dubious: Is she scared, upset, frustrated or did a flash go off in her face? Anyone know? Anyone else confused?
It wasn’t clear immediately to me, but once I thought about it I guessed correctly. I bet you do too. Pick one. You don’t have to be sure, just pick one. Got it?
According to the text in the article (second paragraph under the heading Why Is He So Quick To Flip Out?) the correct answer is scared. Did you get it right?
I was less than sure myself, but ended up going with the right answer. It kind of looks like deranged anger, to me, too. She just looks a bit crazy to me, like the expression is forced or exaggerated or something–it doesn’t look real.
Whether these are in fact discrete categories, or whether there are more than six is still debated in the literature.
Her face looks more forced than genuine. She reminds me of Marty Feldman. The article doesn’t give any information about how that was done so I’ll reserve judgment until I see the actual study.
I thought it looked more like the over-reacting super stressed out face. Kind of like a silent face you would make to your coworker to convey “Yarg! This is not working! So irritated”
What an awful website. Ads to the right, ad on the bottom (that doesn’t move yet), ads on the top. About 1/4 of the page actual reading the rest ads. While I recognized her emotion, Parade gets the emotion of digust for their website design
I’m 53 and I thought she looked outraged. She looks like she’s about to tell her teenage son that he is never allowed to drive her car AGAIN! Because that’s just how my mom looked when she said it to me.
