This study examined the effect of expressive dissonance on the recipient’s emotions and impressions of the regulators. Expressive dissonance indicates that the regulators regulate their emotional expressions to convey an emotion incongruent to what they really felt. Afterwatching the individual videos of the expressionsmade by twomale and two female regulators (each conveying two dissonant and two natural expressions), 20 Japanese participants were asked to rate their own emotional experiences and their impressions of the regulator and to infer the regulator’s emotional state and the verisimilitude of the regulator’s emotional expression. The male faked smiles rather than their genuine smiles were more easily rated as fake and negatively affected the participants’ emotional experiences and impressions. In contrast, the female faked smiles were rated as verisimilar and had the same effect on the emotional experiences and impressions of the participants when compared to their genuine smiles. These results suggest that expressive regulation has some degree of positive social function and can contribute to the development of better communication.
