Positive affect can increase sensitivity to expressions of joy on people’s faces. One of the sources of positive emotions is the awareness of having important and valued attributes, such as agency and communion. The study investigated whether recalling experiencing agency and communion enhanced positive emotion recognition on emotionally ambiguous faces of other people. 180 students (50% women) were randomly divided into three groups: agency activation, communion activation and control group. In the first two conditions, participants were asked to recall a situation when they experienced agency or communion, in the last one they completed a control task.

Recalling agency led to the evaluation of ambiguous faces as more joyful compared to the control group, but the results depended on sex of the participants and of the presented face.
