Summary/Abstract: The main objective was to determine whether there are effects of interpersonal orientation (towards people, against people, away from people) on the accuracy of perceiving emotions (anger, fear, sadness, disgust, contempt, surprise, enjoyment) based on facial microexpressions. The model consists of 130 participants, grouped according to age and education. The implemented instruments included a test of recognizing emotions according to facial expressions (Ekman, 2003) for a duration of 60 milliseconds and a scale of interpersonal orientation (Bezinović, 2002), for testing positive (Need for people, Friendship) and negative orientation (Distrust and Social isolation). It was determined that fewer people expressed the Need for people and Social isolation, and more expressed Distrust predicts greater accuracy of perceiving emotions according to facial microexpressions. Friendship was not singled out as significant predictor of accuracy in perceiving emotions generally, but only regarding sadness and disgust in such a way that more expressed Friendship predicts greater success in recognizing these two emotions.
