Project PAVE (Personality And Vision Experimentation): Role of personal and interpersonal resilience in the perception of emotional facial expression.

The aim of the proposed theoretical model is to illuminate personal and interpersonal resilience by drawing from the field of emotional face perception. We suggest that perception/recognition of emotional facial expressions serves as a central link between subjective, self-related processes and the...
