Resumen
GOMEZ-SICARD, Natalia et al. Electrodermal Response and Facial Expressions of Children who Engage in Pretense Play Related with Aggressive Behaviors. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2013, vol.9, n.2, pp.305-318. ISSN 1794-9998.
Colombia displays a high percentage of children and teenagers that deploy or are victims of aggressive behaviour in the school. There is evidence that shows that these behaviours are associated with difficulties during emotion regulation and in theory of mind. Six case studies were developed in children between 4 and 8 years of age. A questionnaire that involved conflict situations and that sought to promote pretense play was presented to participants. Facial expressions and electrodermic responses were evaluated during the interview. A higher frequency of facial expressions and changes in electrodermic response were recorded when the aggression, in the conflict situations, was intentional and directed towards a person. The most frequent facial expressions of emotion were anger, sadness, and contempt. The results of the present study suggest that facial expressions and electrodermic response could be interesting measures to study emotion regulation and aggressive behaviour.
