Abstract
Los seres humanos nos acercamos y alejamos de
estímulos y situaciones que nos agradan y desagradan,
respectivamente. Este es un proceso que compartimos
con el resto de los seres vivos. Los factores
que determinan las conductas de aproximación y
evitación son complejos y se mantienen en continua
interacción. En concreto, se pueden establecer a partir
de la asociación entre estímulos, entre estímulos y
respuestas, entre diferentes conductas o cogniciones,
integrándose en constructos como la personalidad,
que nos permiten situar en un continuo relativamente
estable las tendencias conductuales que caracterizan
a cada individuo. En esta revisión narrativa nos
centraremos en las expresiones faciales emocionales,
como estímulos informativos de gran relevancia social
que activan conductas de aproximación y evitación
en el perceptor. A partir de este conocimiento,
profundizaremos en la importancia de la medida y
análisis de las tendencias conductuales asociadas a
las expresiones faciales en persona con trastorno de
ansiedad social.
Human beings approach and avoid stimuli and situations that please and displease us, respectively. This is a process that we share with the rest of living beings. The factors that determine approach and avoidance behaviors are complex and involve continuous interaction. Specifically, they can be established from the association between stimuli, between stimuli and responses, and between different behaviors or cognitions, integrating into constructs such as personality, which allow us to place on a relatively stable continuum the behavioral tendencies that characterize each individual. In this narrative review, we will focus on emotional facial expressions as informative stimuli of great social relevance that activate approach and avoidance behaviors in the perceiver. With this knowledge, we will deepen in the importance of measuring and analyzing the behavioral tendencies associated with facial expressions in people with social anxiety disorder.
