paul ekman and wally friesen devised a method for measuring the anatomical basis for displays of emotion called the
a) facial action coding system (facs).
b) standard expresser test (set).
c) facial affect scoring technique (fast).
d) profile of nonverbal states (pons).

Explanation:

Paul Ekman and Wally Friesen are well - known for their work on facial expressions and emotions. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS) is a widely - recognized method they developed. It breaks down facial movements into specific action units based on the underlying facial muscles (anatomical basis) to code and measure facial expressions related to emotions. The other options:

• The Standard Expresser Test (SET) is not a commonly known method associated with them for this purpose.
• The Facial Affect Scoring Technique (FAST) is not the correct name of their method.
• The Profile of Nonverbal States (PONS) was developed by others (e.g., Rosenthal) and is more about decoding non - verbal cues in general rather than the anatomical - based emotion display measurement as described.

Answer:

A. Facial Action Coding System (FACS)
