Resumen

ROCHA AGUIAR, Juliana Silva et al. The importance of emotional intensity on the recognition of facial emotions by Brazilian children. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.spe5, pp.1-9. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy15-5.iier.

The ability to recognize emotions in faces is essential to human interaction and occurs since childhood. Hypothesis: research using the morphing technique assume that children require greater or lesser intensity of emotional expression to perceive it. Objective: to examine the emotional recognition of faces in childhood, using a task with emotional intensity variation. Method: it was applied a Test of Facial Emotion Recognition for Children to 28 children between 7 and 11 years, of both sexes, which presented 168 faces manipulated by the morphing technique, of the six basic emotions. Results: age as a trend growth of the likelihood of success at the task; more right answers for happiness and worst performances for fear; and the emotional intensity increasing at 42% the chance of success by every unit of intensity. Conclusion: these findings are relevant because they show the recognition of emotions at different levels as a more sensitive method.
