Is it embarrassing, or do your age and the presences of others make it embarrassing? On the relationship between the experience and facial expression of embarrassment.

Master thesis | Psychology (MSc)

The expression of embarrassment is known to be influenced by age and the presence of others. However, questions in regards to developmental changes in the experience, the impact of an audience, and the relationship between facial expression and subjective experience remain understudied. In the present study, we aimed to investigate if age and the presence of an audience influence self-reported embarrassment and if there is a relationship between self-reported embarrassment and its facial expression.
