Resumen

La expresión de emociones sirve como incentivo o disuasión para otros en muchas interacciones sociales. Estudiamos la representación de la ira y la felicidad, dos emociones asociadas con el dominio, y su relación con el rendimiento del equipo en un entorno de alto riesgo. Analizamos 4318 fotos de jugadores de 304 equipos participantes en doce ediciones (1970-2014) de la Copa Mundial de Fútbol de la FIFA y utilizamos la lectura automática de rostros (FaceReader 6) para evaluar la expresión de ira y felicidad. Observamos que la expresión de ira y felicidad está correlacionada positivamente con el rendimiento del equipo en la Copa Mundial. Los equipos cuyos jugadores muestran más ira, una emoción asociada con la competitividad, encajan menos goles. Los equipos cuyos jugadores muestran más felicidad, una emoción asociada con la confianza, marcan más goles. Demostramos que este resultado es impulsado por menos de la mitad de los jugadores en un equipo.
