description This study investigates age and cultural differences in the negative effects of senders' wearing masks on receivers' readabilities of senders' facially expressed emotions in interpersonal interactions. An online experiment was thus conducted with Koreans and Americans aged over 20 years. Based on sampling quotas by nationality, age group and gender, Korean (n = 240) and American (n = 273) participants were recruited from panel members of a Korean research company and Amazon's Mechanical Turk via email and the website, respectively. The participants played receiver roles to infer senders' facially expressed emotions presented in photos in the experiment. They judged emotions facially expressed by the senders without masks and with masks are shown in photos. The results revealed that the senders' wearing masks reduced the readabilities of the senders' facially expressed anger among participants aged 30-49 years more than among participants aged 20-29 years. The senders' wearing masks decreased the readabilities of the senders' facially expressed fear for participants in their 50's more than for participants in their 20's. When the senders wore masks, the readabilities of the senders' facially expressed happiness dropped among participants aged over 60 years more than among participants aged 20-49 years. When senders wore masks, American participants' readabilities of disgust, fear, sadness and happiness expressed in the senders' faces declined more than Korean participants' readabilities of those emotions. The implications and limitations of these findings are discussed.
