Abstract
SUMMARY: The identification of facial expressions of emotion was studied in three groups of psychiatrically disturbed children and it control group of normal children, The results showed that schizophrenic children were significantly less accurate than unsocialized‐aggressive. anxious‐depressed, and normal children in their identification of the emotions. Anxious‐depressed children showed less pronounced emotion recognition deficits than schizophrenics; however, they also made significantly more errors than the controls. The unsocialized‐aggressive children did not differ from the normal controls, The results are discussed in light of the implications of emotion recognition for interpersonal functioning.
