![]() Honestly though, I would avoid looking at that until you can reliably measure (accurately recognize and discriminate) AUs. With all of this in mind, there is some very light discussion about prototypical expressions (essentially groups of AUs) and possible emotional correlates in the investigator’s guide. That and increased accuracy in observing facial movements. Really the benefit I found to learning (and becoming certified in) FACS is the ability to objectively describe why I reach a particular conclusion about a person’s face. What this means is your question about the emotion interpretation of AUs is somewhat misguided. ![]() It is solely a system to (visually) measure facial behaviors.Īlso it is a system meant for scientific use, so the requirement for objectivity is really important. ![]() If you look in the investigator’s guide (and the introductory part of the manual) it is pretty clear that FACS has no emotion interpretation. Their system, known as the Facial Action Coding System or FACS, was developed based on a discrete emotions theoretical perspective and is designed to measure specific facial muscle movements. So I’ve been trained in certified in FACS (not microexpressions stuff, but the actual FACS).įirst, did you purchase FACS from the official site? I ask because if you did, you’ll receive (amongst other things) the FACS manual, and the investigator’s guide.
