Personality differences in the multimodal perception and expression of cultural attitudes and emotions

Individual differences have been reported in the literature on nonverbal communication. Recent development in the collection and evaluation of audiovisual databases of social behaviors brings new insight on these matters by exploring other types of social behaviors and other approaches to individual differences. This paper summarizes two experimental studies about personality differences in the audiovisual perception and expression of social affects. We conclude on the potential of such audiovisual database and experimental approaches for the design of personalized affective computing systems.
