Abused Children's Response Bias for Anger in Facial Recognition, Facial Interpretation and Intent Attribution

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to verify a hypothesis that abused children show more hostility in facial recognition, facial interpretation, and intent attribution than the children who were not abused. For this purpose, the experiment was conducted to examine the bias of facial recognition, facial interpretation, and intent attribution. Twenty-six abused children were compared with 24 not abused children matched for age, sex, and SES. From the results, firstly, there were significant differences in the bias of facial recognition, and abused children recognize facial expression more aggressive than the children who were not abused. Secondly, significant differences were observed in facial recognition, and the abused children recognize angry, ignoring, and sad facial expressions more aggressive than the children who were not abused. Thirdly, there were significant differences in intent attribution, and the abused children interpreted others' intentions more aggressive and intentional than the children who were not abused. This study verified that abused children showed the biased hostile characteristics in facial recognition, facial interpretation and intent attribution.
