anger love and happiness on people s faces Disgust contempt 蔑视 and suffering seem to be the most difficult emotions for people everywhere either to recognize or to express Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do And psychologists 心理学家 such as E G Beier have also shown that some people often give the completely opposite impression of how they feel For example they try to show love but in fact communicate dislike Or when they want to show interest they give the impression that they don t care This can happen
