Shannon Price: It is a Microexpression

I watched an interview with Shannon Price on Entertainment Tonight earlier this week and I discussed how Shannon grins when she talks about what it was like to take Gary Coleman off of life support. It was flat out haunting, and at that time, I wondered if Shannon’s grin was a microexpression.

For me, at times, I have a hard time distinguishing if something is real-time or a quick-fleeting microexpression–I suspect because it is hard to know what others can’t see when you can see it. I hope that makes sense.

So to answer the question, officially, I contacted Dr. David Matsumoto, an expert in microexpressions, and he informed me that yes, this was indeed, a microexpression.

Dr. David Matsumoto also wrote, “…did you see the micro disgust around 00:39? There is also a unilateral disgust around 1:45. “

Thanks, Dr. Matsumoto, for sharing your expert opinion! I enjoy following Dr. Matsumoto’s work.
