Abstract	espanolEl reconocimiento de las emociones supone la integracion de los aspectos fisicos relativos a los movimientos de la musculatura facial, pero tambien y desde diferentes enfoques se da relevancia al contexto que rodea a dicha expresion en el momento de ser percibida. En la presente investigacion se analizo el papel del contexto verbal sobre el reconocimiento de la expresion facial de alegria y tristeza. Participaron 50 sujetos a los que se les pidio que visualizaran expresiones mixtas neutras rodeadas por cinco palabras positivas, negativas o neutras (contexto verbal), que describian la vida de dicha persona (fase I). Posteriormente se les presentaron durante 39 milisegundos expresiones faciales mixtas de alegria o tristeza de las mismas personas que aparecieron en la fase anterior para que decidieran lo mas rapido posible si la emocion expresada era de alegria o tristeza (fase II). Los resultados mostraron un peor reconocimiento de la expresion de tristeza respecto a la de alegria cuando el contexto verbal previo era positivo. Por otro lado, la expresion de tristeza se reconocio mejor cuando iba precedida de un contexto verbal negativo respecto a cuando era positivo. Se discuten los resultados dentro del modelo constructivista de la emocion. EnglishThe recognition of emotions involves a combination of physical aspects related to movements of the facial muscles. In addition, different approaches have drawn attention to the context in which facial expressions occur when they are being perceived. This study analysed the role of verbal context in the recognition of the facial expressions of happiness and sadness. The study included 50 participants. They were asked to view images of mixed neutral expressions surrounded by five positive, negative, or neutral words (verbal context) that described the life an individual (Phase I). Following this, they were shown happy or sad facial expressions of the same individuals who appeared in the previous phase. The images were displayed for 39 ms such that the participants had to decide as quickly as possible whether the expression was happy or sad (Phase II). The results showed that participants found expressions of sadness harder to recognise than expressions of happiness when the former were preceded by a positive verbal context. In contrast, they found that expressions of sadness were easier to recognise than expressions of happiness when the former were preceded by a negative verbal context. The results are discussed within the constructivist model of emotion.
