Abstract
Our ability to perceive emotion is essential for social interaction, but is known to be biased. For example, gender can bias perceived emotion, i.e., neutral male faces tend to be viewed as conveying more negative emotions than neutral female faces. Here we examine if face attractiveness can bias perceived emotion.
