Identity and social relations 
Super interesting! And also would be curious to see what would be happen if you replicate in a clinical context (i.e. patient target – therapist perceiver)?

These are some really cool findings!! I wondered whether depression was related to the target ratings of emotions. Is there a baseline difference, such that more depressed targets reported lower positive affect? Or do you think they may be simply less expressive when describing positive events, creating a dissociation between their content and actual emotions they felt?

I wonder what would happen if the content of the tape were removed so the perceiver can only see the facial/bodily expression and possibly hear the emotional tone – or maybe those channels could all be separated.

I know I’m biased but still think this is such an interesting finding! I wonder how we might experimentally probe the proposed mechanisms?
