Abstract
This work is part of a project in collaboration with the Department of Psychology at the University of Turin that involves creating a scientific database containing video stimuli of spontaneous human facial expressions of yawning, laughter, mirror pain, embarrassment, contempt, and schadenfreude. The purpose behind its creation is to facilitate the study of emotional contagion. Emotional contagion is defined as the tendency to automatically mimic and synchronize movements, facial expressions, postures, and vocalizations among individuals. To create the video stimuli for the database, an experimental setup was devised. The first phase aimed to record the spontaneous reactions of a group of healthy subjects to selected video clips designed to elicit the target emotions.
The most intense facial expressions were used as stimuli in the second phase, which focused on validating the stimuli in terms of facial expression recognition and verifying emotional contagion among the subjects from both phases
