Sylvain Delplanque - A Fascinating but Risky Case of Reverse Inference: From Measures to Emotions!


Inferring emotions based on accessible signals is a tendency that we have both as social individuals and as scientists. Academia and industry have developed methods and devices aimed at detecting specific emotions (e.g., joy, anger or fear) based on physiological or behavioral signals. The talk will argue that this is currently a risky path to be taken in terms of scientific validity. Using measures to test hypotheses concerning emotions is efficient, but going backward – using measures to infer emotions – is risky. I will also argue that ways to circumvent this reverse inference issue include making use of converging evidence across the five components of emotion (cognitive appraisal, action tendency, expression, physiological reaction and feelings), and investing even more in methodological developments.
