Title
Gender differences in the perception of affective movements
Abstract
Identifying human capabilities in perceiving affective expressions is essential for developing interactive machines that can engage with their human users. In order to ensure that the behaviour of the interactive machine is perceived as intended, any gender–specific differences in the perception of affective expressions are an important design consideration. This paper presents a preliminary study investigating the role of gender in the perception of affective hand movements displayed on both anthropomorphic and non-anthropomorphic structures. The results show that gender significantly influences the participants' perception and that the impact of the display structure and intended-emotion on the perception of the affective movements differs between male and female observers.
