**6. Limitations**

A considerable proportion of the test population was of Asian origin, which would be a limitation in the generalization of these findings over other demographics. Additionally, the limited sample size may pose certain constraints in analysing and interpreting the results.

In addition, much recognition is required to understand the effect of the environment on emotions. Therefore, future studies are recommended to employ a greater number of participants and in different contexts such as central location tests and live experience or virtual reality sets to understand the environmental effect on the emotions depicted by facial expression.
