description: What do facial expressions express? Simply emotions? Current scientific work suggests that there are hidden social messages in human facial expressions, that thoughts too can be revealed, that context can determine whether any expression occurs, and that reading emotions from faces is not as simple, universal, and accurate as it appears. This book summarizes and critiques current research and provides guidelines for future research on facial expressions. It provides a broad overview of the field, reviewing a range of theories and perspectives.
