The aim of this experiment was to study the identification of the facial expressions of six emotions in French‐speaking québécois subjects. Two methods of stimuli presentation were used. The results showed high identification levels that were comparable to those of others working with various cultures. The simultaneous presentation of a facial expression and of the same face with a neutral expression had no effect on the subjects' accuracy of judgment. Female subjects had a higher identification level of disgust than male subjects. Finally, the analysis of the distribution of judgment errors partially confirmed previous data concerning confusions of emotions.
