Question:
Reading the Mind in the Eyes Homework Assignment In this assignment you will complete two short tasks involving reading emotions and a brief questionnaire that measures autistic tendencies in adults. Follow the instructions and answer the questions below. Decoding Smiles Follow the link to a survey that tests your ability to tell the difference between real and fake smiles. During the task, you will be asked to identify 20 videos of people smiling. You will be provided with feedback after each trial. Keep track of how many smiles you correctly identify by keeping a tally on a separate piece of paper. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/?%2BFxZupI1n0jCEScHwUamvmdenuj%2F0kpvxWY%3D How many smiles did you correctly identify? _____ What part of the face did you think was most useful for discriminating between fake and real smiles? Read “What Science Has to Say about Real and Fake Smiles” by Adoree Durayappah (http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/thriving101/201001/what-science-has-say-about-genuine-vs-fake-smiles) to answer the following questions. What muscles are involved in the execution of real smiles and what muscles are involved during fake smiles? In terms of the dual-process model of cognition, what types of cognitive processes are involved in the execution of real smiles and what cognitive processes are involved in the execution of fake smiles? Take the AQ test at http://aq.server8.org/ What is the average score on the AQ test and what was your score on the AQ test? Was this score low, average or above average? Reading the Mind in the Eyes. Next, take the Mind in the Eyes test at http://kgajos.eecs.harvard.edu/mite/ Use the results page at the end of the study to answer the following questions. How many pairs of eyes did you correctly identify? What is the average score of adults who take the Mind in the Eyes test? Was your score below average, average or above average? Prior work by Simon Baron-Cohen and colleagues (2001) found that autistic traits as measured by AQ scores were negatively correlated to mentalization abilities as measured by performance on the Reading the Mind in the Eyes task. What does a negative correlation between AQ scores and mentalising performance indicate? Do your scores appear to follow the pattern of a negative correlation? Explain how. How does a correlation differ from a true experiment? According to research by Anita Williams Wooley and colleagues (2010), how does performance on the Mind in the Eyes test relate to the abilities to solve complex problems as a team? Bonus: How were team equality and the number of females in the group related to group problem-solving?
