  abstract  = {Recent studies have demonstrated gender and cultural differences in the
	recognition of emotions in facial expressions. However, most studies were
	conducted on American subjects. In this pa- per, we explore the
	generalizability of several findings to a non-American culture in the form of
	Danish subjects. We conduct an emotion recognition task followed by two
	stereotype question- naires with different genders and age groups. While recent
	findings (Krems et al., 2015) suggest that women are biased to see anger in
	neutral facial expressions posed by females, in our sample both genders assign
	higher ratings of anger to all emotions expressed by females. Furthermore, we
	demonstrate an effect of gender on the fear-surprise-confusion observed by
	Tomkins and McCarter (1964); females overpredict fear, while males overpredict
	surprise.},
