Abstract(in English) Expressing an emotion is one of important factors in making good interpersonal communication. In this study, we examined whether a subliminal mere exposure to both positive and negative facial expressions influences on interpersonal impression. We found that an exposure to angry face induced a good impression on the subsequently presented same person's neutral face. The exposure to a happy face induced an opposite effect. Rate of pupil constriction was faster when the angry face was subliminally presented than when the happy face was presented. These results indicate that a misattnbution of the strength of cognitive fluency to "likeable feeling" eventually forms good impression for others.
