An Analysis Of The Effect Of The Different Parenting On The Recognizing Ability In Facial Expression Of The Pupils

One of the important differences between emotion and other psychological processes is that emotion has a particular representation-facial expression. To a great extent, to the emotion, the adapt in the race evolution- and the intercommunication in the human society are embodied by the facial expression. So the research in this field has a long history and is the same important as the research in other fields of emotion.Our study investigated pupils' ability to categorize facial expression. The parenting of 369 pupils from Grade One to Grade Six were investigated. In the experiment, children who were divided by their parenting styles matched a facial expression to an emotional category (joy, anger, surprise, sadness, and neutral). This is the method of Confined Labeling (CL). The present data demonstrates (1) the abuse style and the neglect style of parenting have the nonrandom effect on children's emotion recognition abilities. Neglected children and abused children accurately recognized emotions less frequently than did the children growing under other types of parenting. More specifically, neglected children and abused children had difficulty in discriminating differences between emotional expressions. So, their emotional recognition abilities are lower. (2)When recognizing facial expressions, abused children have a response bias for angry, whereas neglected children set a lower standard for selecting neutral emotion, no selection bias emerged for the other types of children. The result of our experiment demonstrates that different types of parenting especially abnormal parenting have an important effect on the development of children's recognizing abilities of emotion.
