Production of Emotional Facial Expressions in European American, Japanese, and Chinese Infants.

Camras, Linda A.; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v34 n4 p616-28 Jul 1998

European American, Japanese, and Chinese 11-month-olds participated in emotion-inducing laboratory procedures. Facial responses were scored with BabyFACS, an anatomically based coding system. Overall, Chinese infants were less expressive than European American and Japanese infants, suggesting that differences in expressivity between European American and Chinese infants are more robust than those between European American and Japanese infants.
