Abstract
Facial expression perception is crucial in human social interaction. Deficits are associated with various psychopathologies and abnormalities. Previous studies indicate gender and individual differences in emotion recognition. The current study investigates whether gender, age differences, empathy and personality traits (The Big Five) can predict facial emotion recognition. 111 participants completed the questionnaires and the emotion recognition task via an online survey. As predicted, females were found to be more accurate in emotion recognition task. A negative correlation was found between emotion recognition accuracy and neuroticism. The findings contribute to the existing literature and benefit the insufficient literature regarding personality and facial emotion recognition. Recommendations for future research, limitations and implications are discussed.
