Chapter 4112Figure 4. Relationship between (A) social anxiety traits and (B) autistic traits and metacognitive sensitivity, which was indexed by the area under the type 2 ROC curve (AUROC2). The blue line indicates the estimated linear relationship, with significant relationships being marked by an asterisk.while the significant effect of zygomaticus activity hints towards a facilitating role of mimicry of smiles in emotion recognition, this link seems to be weakened with higher social anxiety traits. When examining the predicted value plot (see Fig. 5A), this effect, however, seems to be mainly driven by stronger variation in accuracies (i.e., also inaccurate responses) in individuals with lower social anxiety traits when the zygomaticus was not strongly activated. Otherwise, recognition of happy expressions was at ceiling and not much variation in relation to social anxiety trait levels could be observed.
