Emotional intelligence enables people to recognize their own emotions and those of others and to use them in everyday life as valuable information that determines success in social interactions. Inaccurate recognition of emotions or inability to control them can have a significant impact on interpersonal relationships and the ability to cope with difficult life situations. Hearing impairments result in various consequences - both in emotional and social functioning. The article presents the findings of a research study on emotional intelligence and recognition of facial expressions in deaf adolescents. The data were collected with the use of two tools: the self-report INTE Questionnaire and the Emotional Intelligence Scale - Faces (SIE-T). Study participants were 80 secondary school students, including 40 hearing adolescents and 40 deaf adolescents using sign language. A quantitative method, Student's t-test for independent samples, was used to analyze the significance of the findings. The research study showed that the deaf people had lower scores than the hearing people both in the level of emotional intelligence and in the level of individual skills that constitute its structure, such as: recognizing emotions, using emotions to guide thinking and action, and recognizing facial expressions. Furthermore, deaf adolescents from deaf families where sign language was the main communication means achieved higher scores in the ability to recognize facial expressions as compared to deaf adolescents from hearing families. The study suggests the need for broader emotional education and more intensive support for the development of socioemotional skills in deaf adolescents.

Strong emotions are among others manifested in the expressive movements (facial expression). Facial expressions are natural and universal by nature. They do not depend on ethnicity, culture, social status, age, etc. Nonetheless, humans are sometimes capable of controlling their facial expressions and hiding their emotions. Simulating emotions is a fundamental acting skill. However, controlling facial impressions takes time. The onset of such a control is delayed by anything from 0.25 to even 0.1 second – the period when the authentic facial expression, adequate to the emotion is demonstrated – and therefore remains imperceptible to an external observer. This short-lived facial expression observed in that short meantime is known as microexpression. FaceReader, designed by Dutch company Noldus (established and directed by Professor Lucas Noldus), is a software package for automatic recognition and analysis of facial expression. As its diagnostic value for validity as well as reliability, that is the level of correct indications, remains unknown, we decided to determine it experimentally and have chosen to run an experiment comparing its diagnostic value with that of a traditional polygraph examination.

The human face is unique among social stimuli in conveying such a variety of different characteristics. A person’s identity, sex, race, age, emotional state, the focus of attention and attractiveness can be all detected and interpreted from the face. Unfortunately, in contrast to other areas of psychological studies, such as memory, language, and attention, the study of face perception was a minority interest during the early years of cognitive psychology, and the topic received little or no attention in early cognitive psychology textbooks. The study of facial expression was much more fortunate, mainly thanks to a well-known series of studies of P. Ekman and his colleagues. Researchers have been aware for some time of the relationships between individual differences in personality and facial expression perception. A lot of researchers believe that the understanding of how facial expressions are processed is incomplete without taking account of personality-related individual differences. In this article, firstly, a review research addressing the field of face memory and face perception will be presented. Secondly, a discussion of the findings demonstrating the current state of knowledge of facial expression will be shown, including the relationship between personality traits and facial expression perception.

Twarze są bardzo ważnym bodźcem o znaczeniu adaptacyjnym, który ułatwia człowiekowi funkcjonowanie w społeczeństwie dzięki przekazywaniu wielu przydatnych informacji. Twarze przekazują informacje na temat tożsamości napotkanych osób, ich płci, rasy, stanu emocjonalnego, zainteresowań i atrakcyjności. Informacje te są odczytywane i interpretowane przez ludzi. Należy podkreślić, że tematyka percepcji twarzy była – w porównaniu do innych zagadnień związanych z poznaniem, takich jak pamięć, język czy uwaga – przez psychologów poznawczych badana niechętnie, a opisy percepcji twarzy we wczesnych podręcznikach psychologii poznawczej są nadzwyczaj skromne. Obszar związany z badaniami ekspresji mimicznej został o wiele lepiej opisany i rozpropagowany, głównie dzięki serii badań przeprowadzonych przez P. Ekmana i jego współpracowników. Badacze dysponują wiedzą na temat związków pomiędzy cechami osobowości a ekspresjami emocjonalnymi ludzkich twarzy. Wielu naukowców także uważa, że niemożliwe jest zrozumienie procesów ekspresji emocjonalnej bez wzięcia pod uwagę różnic indywidualnych. W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono teorie i badania dotyczące pamięci i percepcji twarzy.

Understanding the “Other”:Identification of Barriers in Intercultural CommunicationAn important condition for good communication of people from different countries, regions and cultures is the knowledge of barriers that may distort the message, preventing its proper interpretation. The aim of this text is to answer the question to what extent the problem with the correct understanding of the message goes beyond the knowledge of the sender's language, including other aspects of communication. In order toanswer this question, the results of research in various fields were analyzed, mainly in the areas of migration, communication,linguistics, psychology and cultural anthropology. It made it possible to look at verbal, para-verbal and non-verbal messages in terms of cultural differences and different experiences, and then to identify the main communication barriers at each of the tested levels. The analysis confirmed that in the area of verbal communication, the knowledge of the cultural context, i.e. knowledge about a given culture and its symbols, is of key importance. It is no less important to avoid traps in the area of non-verbal communication –they concern the manner of speaking, differences in gestures, facial expressions and appearance, different perception of time and space, or knowledge of norms and customs regulating interpersonal interactions. These threads are discussed in detail in the following parts of the text.

Istotnym warunkiem dobrej komunikacji osób pochodzących z różnych krajów, regionów i kultur jest znajomość barier, które mogą zniekształcać przekaz, uniemożliwiając jego właściwą interpretację. Celem niniejszego tekstu jest odpowiedź na pytanie, na ile problem z prawidłowym zrozumieniem komunikatu wykracza poza kwestę znajomości języka nadawcy, obejmując inne aspekty komunikowania. W celu uzyskania odpowiedzi na to pytanie przeanalizowano wyniki badań z różnych dziedzin, a przede wszystkim z zakresu migracji, komunikowania, językoznawstwa, psychologii i antropologii kulturowej. Pozwoliło to na przyjrzenie się przekazom werbalnym, parawerbalnym i niewerbalnym pod kątem różnic kulturowych oraz odmiennych doświadczeń, a następnie identyfikację głównych barier komunikacyjnych na każdym z badanych poziomów. Analiza potwierdziła, że w obszarze komunikowania werbalnego kluczowe znaczenie ma znajomość kulturowego kontekstu, czyli wiedza na temat danej kultury oraz jej symboli. Równie ważne jest unikanie pułapek w obszarze komunikowania pozawerbalnego–dotyczą one sposobu mówienia oraz różnic w zakresie gestów, mimiki, aparycji, innego postrzegania czasu i przestrzeni, a także znajomości norm oraz zwyczajów regulujących międzyludzkie interakcje. Wątki te omówione zostały szczegółowo w kolejnych fragmentach tekstu.
