Note: The numerical values presented for each of the 7 facial expressions identified (columns) reflect the average percentage of all responses allocated for each of those 7 emotions presented (rows). The final column “SUM” merely illustrates that each value adds up to 100%. For the “False Positive Ratings” row, the values reflect the total number of times a particular emotion label erroneously applied for each emotion, and the total number of errors is given in the final “SUM” column.
