The role of emotion recognition from non-verbal behaviour in detection of concealed firearm carrying
conference contribution
posted on 2010-03-22, 14:33 authored by Anastassia Blechko, Iain T. Darker, Alastair GaleIndividuals can detect the mood of people shown in image sequences on the basis of non verbal
cues, such as facial expressions and body movements. Carrying firearms is known
to elicit certain emotional states in their carrier. In relation to the CCTV surveillance task
the present study investigated whether observers are able to perceive differences in the
emotional states and nonverbal
behaviour of people who are, and who are not, carrying
concealed firearms, as judged through monitoring video footage. The results showed that
the observers were able to differentiate between the two video clip types by attributing
different moods to the surveillance targets who were correctly judged to have higher
levels of dysphoria whilst concealing a firearm than whilst concealing an innocuous
object. Furthermore, certain visual cues were found to be related to the performance of
the observers. These results are discussed with regard to future research on this issue.
