Emotional Expressions of Young Infants and Children A Practitioner’s Primer Margaret Wolan Sullivan, PhD; Michael Lewis, PhD Research on emotional development in infancy has benefited greatly from the use of video- tape technology and coding systems that allow detailed coding of facial movements. Today we know that a core set of human facial expressions, composed of specific movements in the brow, eye/cheek, and mouth regions of the face, are probably innate. Theorists continue to debate the meaning of these expressions as well as how they are organized and become regulated over the first several years of life. Despite continuing debate and research on these issues, early facial ex- pressions have practical, signal value for caregivers and practitioners alike. This article surveys what is known about the appearance and early normative, developmental course of emotional expressions, noting similarities and differences in special populations when available. Its goal is to provide practitioners with basic information to help them and the parents they serve become better able to recognize the expressive signals of the infants and young children in their care.

LAUTZENHISER ABSTRACT While research in the psychology of human aging suggests that older adults are quite adept at managing negative affect, emotion regulation efficacy may depend on the discrete emotion elicited. For instance, prior research suggests older adults are more effective at dealing with emotional states that are more age-relevant/useful and lower in intensity (i.e., sadness) relative to less relevant/useful or more intense (i.e., anger). The goal of the present study was to probe this discrete emotions perspective further by addressing the relevance/intensity distinction within a broader set of negative affective states (i.e., fear and disgust, along with anger and sadness). Results revealed that participants reported relatively high levels of the intended emotion for each video, while also demonstrating significant affective recovery after the attentional refocusing task.

  • The Development of Emotion Recognition from Facial Expressions and Non‐Linguistic Vocalizations During Childhood
    1 British Journal of Developmental Psychology (2014) © 2014 The British Psychological Society www.wileyonlinelibrary.com The development of emotion recognition from facial expressions and non-linguistic vocalizations during childhood Georgia Chronaki1,2*, Julie A.

Previous research has focused on children’s facial emotion recognition, and few studies have investigated non-linguistic vocal emotion processing in childhood. We compared facial and vocal emotion recognition and processing biases in 4- to 11-year-olds and adults. Eighty-eight 4- to 11-year-olds and 21 adults participated. Participants viewed/listened to faces and voices (angry, happy, and sad) at three intensity levels (50%, 75%, and 100%). Non-linguistic tones were used. For each modality, participants completed an emotion identification task. Accuracy and bias for each emotion and modality were compared across 4- to 5-, 6- to 9- and 10- to 11-year-olds and adults. The results showed that children’s emotion recognition improved with age; preschoolers were less accurate than other groups. Facial emotion recognition reached adult levels by 11 years, whereas vocal emotion recognition continued to develop in late childhood.

  • About Emotions There Are 8 Primary Emotions. You Are Born with These
    About Emotions There are 8 primary emotions. You are born with these emotions wired into your brain. That wiring causes your body to react in certain ways and for you to have certain urges when the emotion arises. Here is a list of primary emotions: Eight Primary Emotions Anger: fury, outrage, wrath, irritability, hostility, resentment and violence. Sadness: grief, sorrow, gloom, melancholy, despair, loneliness, and depression. Fear: anxiety, apprehension, nervousness, dread, fright, and panic. Joy: enjoyment, happiness, relief, bliss, delight, pride, thrill, and ecstasy. Interest: acceptance, friendliness, trust, kindness, affection, love, and devotion. Surprise: shock, astonishment, amazement, astound, and wonder. Disgust: contempt, disdain, scorn, aversion, distaste, and revulsion. Shame: guilt, embarrassment, chagrin, remorse, regret, and contrition. All other emotions are made up by combining these basic 8 emotions. Sometimes we have secondary emotions, an emotional reaction to an emotion. We learn these. Some examples of these are: o Feeling shame when you get angry. o Feeling angry when you have a shame response (e.g., hurt feelings). o Feeling fear when you get angry (maybe you’ve been punished for anger). There are many more. These are NOT wired into our bodies and brains, but are learned from our families, our culture, and others. When you have a secondary emotion, the key is to figure out what the primary emotion, the feeling at the root of your reaction is, so that you can take an action that is most helpful. .

  • Visual Perception of Facial Emotional Expressions During Saccades
    behavioral sciences Article Visual Perception of Facial Emotional Expressions during Saccades Vladimir A. Barabanschikov and Ivan Y. Zherdev * Institute of Experimental Psychology, Moscow State University of Psychology and Education, 29 Sretenka street, Moscow 127051, Russia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +7-999-829-52-79 Received: 28 October 2019; Accepted: 23 November 2019; Published: 27 November 2019 Abstract: The regularities of visual perception of both complex and ecologically valid objects during extremely short photo expositions are studied. Images of a person experiencing basic emotions were displayed for as low as 14 ms amidst a saccade spanning 10 degrees of visual angle. The observers had a main task to recognize the emotion depicted, and a secondary task to point at the perceived location of the photo on the screen. It is shown that probability of correct recognition of emotion is above chance (0.62), and that it depends on its type. False localizations of stimuli and their compression in the direction of the saccade were also observed. According to the acquired data, complex environmentally valid objects are perceived differently during saccades in comparison to isolated dots, lines or gratings. The rhythmic structure of oculomotor activity (fixation–saccade–fixation) does not violate the continuity of the visual processing. The perceptual genesis of facial expressions does not take place only during gaze fixation, but also during peak speed of rapid eye movements both at the center and in closest proximity of the visual acuity area. Keywords: transsaccadic processing; facial expression; emotional perception; saccadic suppression; gaze contingency; visual recognition 1.

Miscarriage as simply a female medical issue does not embody the full emotional toll of the experience. Research is lacking on miscarriage and the couple relationship. Even further, a framework for understanding miscarriage is nonexistent. This study aims to explore the phenomenon of miscarriage as well as provide a framework for understanding miscarriage. The current study will look at miscarriage through the lenses of ambiguous loss theory and trauma theory. The sample consisted of 10 females, five who interviewed as individuals and 5 who interviewed with their partners as a couple. Semi-structured, open-ended interviews were conducted with each individual participant, and the five couples were interviewed as a couple as well. From the data, six themes and four subthemes emerged for the female experience: Emotional toll, Stolen dreams, No one understands, He loves me in a different way, Why? I don’t understand, and In the end, I have my faith.
