Emotion Recognition Training (ERT)

Nonverbal behavior is a major component of communication, and facial expressions of emotion are the most important and complex signal system humans have. Research has documented the existence of seven universally expressed and recognized facial expressions of emotion. The impact of this finding is immense: all people - regardless of race, culture, ethnicity, age, gender or religion - express emotions in the face in exactly the same ways. Reading signs of emotion is an important skill for effective communication. The ability to accurately read emotions in others is extremely important to establishing relationships, building rapport, eliciting information, negotiation and many other purposes. This skill has an immediate and powerful benefit for those who conduct interviews or interrogations, are involved in business transactions, perform law enforcement or security, provide health care or participate in the legal system.

The Emotion Recognition Training tool (ERT) is scientifically proven to teach individuals how to read these signs of emotion. Users can learn to read both macro- and microexpressions by selecting the speed of the expression to be learned. The training starts with a pre-test so users can assess their natural ability to read emotions. After the pre-test, users proceed through the training and practice sessions. ERT includes expressions drawn from six ethnic groups equally representing males and females. Users learn to recognize the macro- and microexpressions of anger, fear, disgust, contempt, surprise, sadness, and happiness. Once the training and practice are complete, the user takes a post-test to see how much they have improved.
