Abstract

Micro-expressions are reliable indicators of individuals’ true emotions and experience. Therefore, the ability to read and understand micro-expressions is important to individuals’ social functioning and in many different professional areas. The goal of this study was to test the relationship between micro-expression recognition ability and emotional intelligence (EI), which can be perceived as the ability to function well in social life. The study used micro-expressions training videos (METVs), a new tool for detecting micro-expressions on faces filmed on videos, and the SIE-T test, which is a measure of emotional intelligence (Matczak et al. 2005). Social ability skills were measured through self-declaration. Forty students participated in the study. The results indicated a positive correlation between EI (SIE-T) and the ability to recognize facial expressions (METV). Moreover, METV performance was correlated with certain dimensions of social skills (declaration).
