This issue is part of a project funded by the MEXT Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas, titled <i>Construction of Face−Body Studies in Transcultural Conditions</i>. This research project initiative on face and body studies in Japan spanned from 2017 to 2022 and aims to heighten awareness about the unconscious expressions of faces and bodies and the cultural differences in these expressions.</p><p>Facial and bodily expressions serve as transparent mediums, revealing individual histories and enabling people to be understood by others. However, research has often been conducted on faces and bodies as separate entities. Recognizing the importance of integrating these two fields, our project aims to uncover the differences in facial and bodily expressions across diverse cultures and to explore the possibilities for developing cultural understanding through faces and bodies. By bringing unconscious facial and bodily expressions to conscious awareness, this field of study seeks to enhance the understanding of different cultures and the acceptance of diverse individuals. Multidisciplinary research methods, including psychological, anthropological, and philosophical perspectives, are used to elucidate cultural differences, aiming to clarify the commonalities and differences in facial and body expressions, considering both cultural and individual variations. Our project's goals align with the recent trend of developing integrated research on face and body perception, as evidenced by major international psychological conferences, such as the Vision Sciences Society (VSS), which included presentations on face and body perception in the same session in VSS 2024.</p><p>As a part of our project and to promote research on face and body studies, we feature this special issue. This special issue received 22 submissions, of which 12 were accepted for publication: eight focusing on face studies and four on body studies. We are grateful for the substantial number of submissions, which showcase a diverse range of topics.</p><p>Among the accepted papers, there are four notable review papers. Fort et al. (<span>2024</span>) explore the developmental trajectory of face processing and provide a comprehensive view of perceptual narrowing. Silvestri and Macchi Cassia (<span>2024</span>) examine how infants perceive trustworthiness in faces and the role of spatial frequency in this process. Tanaka (<span>2024</span>) offers a thorough overview of how body image develops in infants. Amita et al. (<span>2024</span>) review the neuronal mechanisms involved in face processing in primates.</p><p>In addition to these reviews, experimental studies provide fresh insights into various aspects of face and body perception.

Confirmatory factor analyses of the CMS‐J suggested a two‐factor structure, as in the original scale. The test–retest reliability was examined based on data from 143 participants who responded to the CMS‐J questionnaire after a 7‐week interval. Study 2 (n = 1,114) confirmed the convergent and discriminant validities, as well as the internal consistency, of the CMS‐J. Finally, Study 3 (n = 1,300) confirmed the effective measurement of growth and fixed mindset of the CMS‐J using IRT analyses.

To explore whether a linear relationship would be observed when the intensity was finely manipulated at 10% intervals, a hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed. The mean percentage of correct responses for each stimulus was the dependent variable, and the linear, quadratic, and cubic terms of the stimulus intensity were the independent variables. The results showed that the linear model was not adopted as the final model for all facial expressions; that is, the effect of the squared term of intensity was significant for anger, disgust, fear, and sadness, while the effect of the cubic term of intensity was significant for happiness and surprise.

The present study was conducted to explore how information is conveyed by facial expressions of fun in the context of the presence or absence of another person. Results show that expression of the internal state (fun) is conveyed primarily in comparison to other information, but it is weaker in the state of being with a stranger than in the state of being alone or with a friend.

Results indicated that the participants selected a larger figure for themselves than their body mass index (BMI) represented, while they selected a slimmer figure for their ideal body than their ideal BMI represented. In addition, the extent of the perceptual discrepancies was correlated with thin‐ideal internalization and appearance‐comparison tendency. Moreover, participants expressed body dissatisfaction to a greater extent when using a silhouette scale than when using BMI.

Studies on various cultures have confirmed this tendency, suggesting that facial mimicry is a universal behavioral pattern in interpersonal communication. However, its cross-cultural variability is expected because of the influence of cultural norms regarding facial expressions. By focusing on unstructured dyadic interactions, we addressed the unexplored cross-cultural variability of facial mimicry through a secondary analysis of video data obtained in Japan and Spain and a further analysis of newly collected videos in Taiwan. We also explored the association between the Big Five personality traits and facial mimicry cross-culturally. To measure facial mimicry, the intensity of each facial action unit movement was quantified using OpenFace, which underwent multidimensional dynamic time warping. First, employing the pseudo-synchrony paradigm of random data shuffling, we confirmed that interactants displayed facial mimicry beyond chance during their conversation. Second, we found that the extent of mimicry was significantly different among the three cultures; that is, interactants from East Asian cultures (Taiwan, Japan) showed a greater extent of mimicry than those from Western cultures (Spain) even after controlling for unbalanced gender composition in the data. Third, conscientiousness was significantly associated with the degree of mimicry. However, the association between personality traits and mimicry was not consistent across cultures.
