Abstract

One alternative to measure happiness is to use facial expression by measuring facial muscle movement namely facial coding unit or action unit. Rarely studies found to verify validity the action unit of happiness. Accordingly, we held one group pretest posttest experimental design to test the specificity and sensitivity facial expression of happiness. We applied a video experimental paradigm to stimulate facial happiness expression. Openface software was used to measure facial action unit. The participants of this research were 203 Indonesia university students. Happiness emotion stimuli was measured by single item with a scale 0-10. To calculate the specificity and sensitivity we employed ROC (Receiver Operating Curve) statistical technique. Our result shown inconsistent finding for AU6 and AU12 due to Facial Coding Unit System (FCUS) to detect happy emotion. The co-occurrence of other emotion and individual differences in interpreting stimuli influenced the validity of measurement.
