The 7 basic emotions - Do you recognise all facial expressions?

Surprise, Happiness, Anger, Disgust, Contempt, Sadness and Fear - these are the 7 human basic emotions, shown the complete same way all over the world.
Tis video is a fun approach to the topic of basic emotions, based on the concept of Dirk Eilert. As you will notice, the shown emotions are not 100% scientifically correct but do give you a hint about what the topic is all about.
We use this video as a first approch to emotionally intelligent leadership, basic emotion workshops or similar training topics.

    Happiness didn't feel happy, more embarrassed. Disgust didn''t wrinkle the nose, which is an involuntary respons for real disgust. So, these emotions are basically the emotions of bad acting..?

    The problem with these actors seems to be that they don't actually get into the state of the feelings that they are supposed to express. For example, if you are supposed to express disgust then you should vividly imagine yourself doing something really darn disgusting, so that it becomes a natural reaction and goes from acting to a real reaction. You should TRULY FEEL that emotion, not just consciously express it.

    In one of Indian ancient texts named Natyasastra by Bharatha Muni, he has defined nine basic emotions (navarasas) to be expressed as part of Indian classical dance forms. The nine emotions are Shringara (love/beauty), Hasya(laughter), Karuna (sorrow), Raudra (anger), Veera ( heroism/courage), Bhayanaka (terror/fear), Bibhatsya (disgust), Adbutha (surprise/wonder), and Shantha (peace or tranquility).

    The expressions in this video are acted out pretty much on command, and it is quite tricky to perfectly mimic real-life expressions. In my opinion, the best way to consciously mimic a certain expression is by vividly building up that actual emotion within you, so that it becomes a _real_ emotion, and this is actually what professional actors usually do when they act in movies. Jack Nicholson did a lot of these things during the recording of "The Shining"; he would be a bit weird even during breaks (like laugh and giggle for himself), and he would mutter crazy words for himself and almost scare the production team when he prepared for some of his crazier scenes.

    Almost no one do this faces in real life, except children. Like, imagine you talking with your friend and they tell you they are sad. They will not look like they are in cartoon and their lips looks like reversed smile. Im autistic, btw, and in my childhood i studied microexpressions using anime. And, surprisingly, thats a way more reliable source of how people could look like while beeing emotional. Way more reliable than this vid and others like it.

    David Matsumoto on his site, and Paul Ekman had on his site, METT Micro Expression Training Tutorial's. Ekman states in studying various culture's around the world, that there are 7 universal facial expressions connecting to genuine emotional states which are extraordinarily difficult to mask. Also, Vanessa van Edwards runs The Science of People, conducting trainings on how to recognize these and more. There's another guy who has all of the AU's, the Action Units which is used for FACS - Facial Action Coding System condensed into about 40+ mini-videos to assist anyone with self-study, which is what the PEG- Paul Ekman Group tests for certification of FACS. The reason I wrote a lengthy reply to you, as you stated, those 4 "negative" expressions confused you and these references could possibly help with clearing up that confusion either by demonstrating them in multiple slow motion videos or by illustrating which facial muscle groups are being activated (FACS). Good luck!

    1: didn't see any emotion. Only saw a weird and random facial change. 2: weird face scrunch. Once again, saw no emotion, just a random face change. 3, lip twitch, still saw no emotion. 4, I'm assuming a smile is happiness. But the woman doesn't express the emotion long enough for me to see anything. Plus her eyes are dead. I can't see any change. 5, this one was very easy. Sad. 6: strange eye movement. Too brief to distinguish anything. 7: didn't see any change I'd recommend expressing the emotion longer. You do it so fast.

Emotion 2: "I am reading a cue card right now but the handwriting is terrible and I can barely make it out." Emotion 3: "I am reading a cue card right now and this is really boring and I'm kinda hungry. I think I could go for a steak." Emotion 4: "I work in customer service and I am THIS close to losing my mind but I need the money which is why I have taught myself to smile on command." Emotion 5: "I work in the service industry and I am THIS close to losing my mind but I need the money which is why I'm pretending to care about your very tedious and boring story while I actually got like twelve other tables to serve because we are understaffed because our corporate overlords find lining their own pockets more important than paying people what they are owed" Emotion 6: "I still can't read this damn cue card. I am getting paid for this right? Because I really need the money and my actual job pay is shit" Emotion 7: "I once took a drama class in high school. I am getting paid for this right?"
