Preschoolers' Use of Dynamic Facial, Bodily, and Vocal Cues to Emotion
Nelson, Nicole L.; Russell, James A.
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v110 n1 p52-61 Sep 2011
In daily experience, children have access to a variety of cues to others' emotions, including face, voice, and body posture. Determining which cues they use at which ages will help to reveal how the ability to recognize emotions develops. For happiness, sadness, anger, and fear, preschoolers (3-5 years, N=144) were asked to label the emotion conveyed by dynamic cues in four cue conditions. The Face-only, Body Posture-only, and Multi-cue (face, body, and voice) conditions all were well recognized (M greater than 70%). In the Voice-only condition, recognition of sadness was high (72%), but recognition of the three other emotions was significantly lower (34%). (Contains 2 figures and 2 tables.)
