Developmental Changes in Reading Emotional States Through Facial Expression

Abstract

This study examined developmental changes in the ability to read emotional states through changes in facial expression. This included both changes in dimensions of emotion(comparing pleasantness and unpleasantness and awake and relaxed) and changes in the area exhibiting the facial expression(whole face, eye). Participants were children aged 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13, as well as university students. A total of 32 pictures depicting facial expressions with certain emotional states were shown to the participants, who were instructed to choose one suitable facial expression to match emotional story. The results were as follows: First, facial expression reading ability improves with age, and is fully developed only in adults. Second, participants were able to judge the expressions of whole faces better than the expressions of eyes, the pleasantness dimension more than the unpleasantness dimension, and the relaxed dimension more than the awake dimension. Third, ability to read the pleasantness/unpleasantness and awake/relaxed emotional states through facial expression increased between the age of 5 and 9 and developed by adulthood.
