  • Summary

    Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative movement disorder that impairs emotional expression in older adults. Parkinson's disease decreases a person’s ability to express their emotions in the face, body, and voice. Due to this decrease in emotional expression, people with PD are often perceived with a bias by both medical professionals and lay observers. These misperceptions can lead to people with PD experiencing stigmatization, decreased quality of life, and decreased satisfaction in their social relationships. Following a review of how PD affects the perceptions of people with PD at both the encoder and decoder level, this chapter will present possible compensatory strategies for increasing accuracy in perceptions with health-related expressivity deficits such as increased engagement in valued activities and using deliberate expressions to show emotions in high stakes social situations.
