In the training of students in social activities it is of particular importance to know all three types of empathy (cognitive, emotional and intellectual) as well as their formation in the process of learning.

One of these trainings is specifically aimed at forming, building and improving the human emotional recognition skills as part of the complex process of building communication skills and building social intelligence. The article presents the results of the pilot study of Social Activity students for the recognition of various underlying emotional states using the WSEFEP standardized facial expression imagery and a set of emotional facial expressions from the University of Ohio.
