In this article, we report the development of a new test designed to measure individual differences in emotion recognition ability (ERA), five studies examining the reliability and validity of the scores produced using this test, and the first evidence for a correlation between ERA measured by a standardized test and personality. Utilizing Matsumoto and Ekman's (1988) Japanese and Caucasian Facial Expressions of Emotion (JACFEE) and Neutral Faces (JACNeuF), we call this measure the Japanese and…

Introducing the Geneva emotion recognition test: an example of Rasch-based test development.
TLDR
The GERT is a promising instrument to measure ERA in a more ecologically valid and comprehensive fashion than previous tests and that measurement precision is satisfactory, consistent with previous findings.
Introducing a short version of the Geneva Emotion Recognition Test (GERT-S): Psychometric properties and construct validation
TLDR
The short version of the Geneva Emotion Recognition Test (the GERT-S) is introduced, and two studies that examine the internal consistency, factor structure, and convergent and discriminant validity of the test show that it is a unidimensional test with good internal consistency.
Assessing the Ability to Recognize Facial and Vocal Expressions of Emotion: Construction and Validation of the Emotion Recognition Index
Despite extensive research on emotional expression, there are few validated tests of individual differences in emotion recognition competence (generally considered as part of nonverbal sensitivity…
The Nomological Network of Emotion Recognition Ability
Abstract. The ability to recognize other people’s emotions from their face, voice, and body (emotion recognition ability, ERA) is crucial to successful functioning in private and professional life.…
Investigating individual differences in emotion recognition ability using the ERAM test.
TLDR
This work investigated individual differences in ERA using a brief test containing dynamic multimodal expressions of 5 positive and 7 negative emotions (the ERAM test), and showed that participants who had higher ERA were more accurate in their meta-cognitive judgments about their own accuracy.
Emotion recognition from expressions in face, voice, and body: the Multimodal Emotion Recognition Test (MERT).
TLDR
The results show the utility of a test designed to measure both coarse and fine-grained emotion differentiation and modality-specific skills, and suggest 2 separate abilities, visual and auditory recognition, which seem to be largely independent of personality dispositions.
Development and Validation of the Facial Expression Recognition Test (FERT)
TLDR
A new test, named Facial Expression Recognition Test (FERT), developed using an item response theory two-parameter logistic model is proposed, finding both a gender difference in the ability to recognize emotions and a decline of such ability with age.
New Tests to Measure Individual Differences in Matching and Labelling Facial Expressions of Emotion, and Their Association with Ability to Recognise Vocal Emotions and Facial Identity
TLDR
Two new tests are developed for expression perception and expression and identity processing, addressing theoretical questions regarding the structure of face processing, specifically the extent to which the following processes are common or distinct.
The Relationship between Emotional Recognition and Personality Traits
This study investigated the relationship between personality traits and the ability to recognize emotions from facial expressions. A sample ofundergraduate and graduate students (n = 52) were…
A meta-analysis of the relationship between emotion recognition ability and intelligence
TLDR
RAE is established as sensory-cognitive ability that is distinct from, yet related to, intelligence, and effect size increased with higher mean age of the sample.

TLDR
A "component patterning" model of vocal affect expression is proposed that attempts to rink the outcomes of antecedent event evaluation to biologically based response patterns and may help to stimulate hypothesis-guided research as well as provide a framework for the development of appropriate research paradigms.
