Abstract(in English) This study investigated the psychophysical relationship between the visual information and affective meanings involved in the recognition of facial expressions of emotion. In the experiment, we asked participants to rate the facial images of basic six facial expressions and neutral in terms of the Affect Grid technique. Multiple regression analyses on the affective scores of each expression with its facial structural variables, which scores were calculated from the displacements of facial feature points in each image, showed that "slantedness of the upper face" correlated with the "pleasantness," and "curvedness/openness" with "activity." Taking the placements of facial expressions in the both spaces of visual information and affective meanings into consideration, the third dimension of affective meaning which correlates with "slantedness of the upper face" might exist.
