Abstract

Participants reported on the anger of a gesturing man. Participants watched a silent, cropped video of dyadic interaction: only hands, arms and torsos were visible. Video speed was manipulated across conditions. Participants saw the man gesturing at the slowest and fastest speeds, relative to moderate speed, as more angry.
