}Emotion theories commonly postulate that emotions impose coherence across multiple response systems. However, empirical support for this coherence postulate is surprisingly limited. In the present study, the authors (a) examined the within-individual associations among experiential, facial behavioral, and peripheral physiological responses during emotional responding and (b) assessed whether emotion intensity moderates these associations. Experiential, behavioral, and physiological responses…

Picture presentations were overall the most effective elicitor of discrete emotions and valence, valence-arousal, and approach-avoidance models of emotion were not as clearly supported.
The Mere Co-Presence: Synchronization of Autonomic Signals and Emotional Responses across Co-Present Individuals Not Engaged in Direct Interaction

It is found that moment-to-moment emotional transmissions, resulting in shared emotional experiences, can occur in the absence of direct communication and are mediated by autonomic synchronization.

There is no “gold standard” measure of emotional responding, and experiential, physiological, and behavioural measures are all relevant to understanding emotion and cannot be assumed to be interchangeable.

A strong overlap between the two suppression strategies in terms of their early impact on emotional responses is suggested, with physiological suppression showing a larger decrease in experience intensity and blood pressure than expressive suppression.

A multifaceted approach to emotional expressivity, defined as the behavioral changes associated with emotion, is proposed, which shows that self-reported expressivity has 3 facets (Impulse Strength, Negative Expressivity, Positive Expressivity).

The present experiment was designated to assess the generalizability of social context effects to facial expressions in response to negative emotional stimuli and to examine whether these effects are mediated by social motives, as suggested by the behavioral ecology view.

It is suggested that visceral feedback may make a more direct contribution to emotional processes than facial feedback does and that the "readout" functions of facial expressions are more important than any feedback functions.
