- Title

- Abstract
Human emotional interchange implicates expression/recognition of emotions. The human face is a conspicuous place to express/read emotion. Certain emotions associate with emotional crying, different from basal and reflexive crying. Murube, Murube and Murube (1999) classified emotional crying as requesting and offering help. The validity of that typology was evaluated using faces of people of both sexes crying because of their own suffering and because of other's suffering. A group of judges classified the crying shown by those faces. Discrimination hit rates and qui-square tests were estimated by sex. Results do not support a human ability to distinguish two types of crying and are interpreted from a cultural point of view.
