Emotion Knowledge as a Predictor of Social Behavior and Academic Competence in Children at Risk

Abstract: Following leads from differential emotions theory and empirical research, we evaluated an index of emotion knowledge as a long-term predictor of positive and negative social behavior and academic competence in a sample of children from economically disadvantaged families (N = 72). The index of emotion knowledge represents the child's ability to recognize and label emotion expressions. We administered control and predictor measures when the children were 5 years old and obtained criterion data at age 9. After c… Show more

“…Researchers have argued that the preschool years constitute a landmark period for the development of emotion understanding and that the acquisition of emotional knowledge in this stage of development has significant implications for children's long-term social competence (Denham et al, 2003;Izard et al, 2001).

“…Difficulties for recognizing emotions in the faces of others have also been associated with problems in social behavior and psychiatric disorders such as anxiety (e.g., Demenescu, Kortekaas, den Boer, & Aleman, 2010;Izard et al, 2001), problems often found in individuals with WS or DS (Dykens, 2000). Further research should therefore assess whether such problems are indeed related to the difficulties individuals with WS or DS present for facial emotion recognition.…”
