This research was designed to measure differences in expressive actions when walking under certain emotional states, and under normal emotional states. The emotional states compared in this study were impatience, anger, happiness, sadness and anxiousness. A significant main effect was found between all 17 items used to evaluate walking. Further analysis suggested a pattern between walking with these emotions and walking under normal conditions. There was virtually no difference observed between normal and happy walking. Additionally, results of a cluster analysis on the five walking conditions with normal and emotional states revealed three clusters: 1) active walking (impatient, angry walking), 2) passive walking (sad, anxious walking) and 3) low visibility walking (normal, happy walking). Passive walking (sad, anxious walking) was revealed to be comparatively weaker action than low visibility walking. And active walking was comparatively stronger action than low visibility walking.
