Research in psychology suggests that people tend to recognize negative emotions, especially anger, more quickly and accurately than positive emotions. This is often attributed to the evolutionary advantage of quickly identifying potential threats. Therefore, participants are likely to recognize the emotion on an angry man's face more quickly than the other options.
