This study examined the concurrent and prospective associations between children's ability to accurately recognize facial affect at age 8.5 and antisocial behavior at age 8.5 and 10.5 years in a sub sample of the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children cohort (5,396 children; 2,644, 49% males). All observed effects were small. It was found that at age 8.5 years, in contrast to nonantisocial children; antisocial children were less accurate at decoding happy and sad expressions when presented at low intensity. In addition, concurrent antisocial behavior was associated with misidentifying expressions of fear as expressions of sadness. In longitudinal analyses, children who misidentified fear as anger exhibited a decreased risk of antisocial behavior 2 years later. The study suggests that concurrent rather than future antisocial behavior is associated with facial affect recognition accuracy.
这项研究在雅芳纵向父母与子女研究队列（5396 名儿童，其中 2644 名男性，占 49%）的子样本中，考察了儿童在 8.5 岁时准确识别面部表情的能力与 8.5 岁和 10.5 岁时反社会行为之间的同期和前瞻性关联。所有观察到的影响都很小。研究发现，与非反社会儿童相比，在 8.5 岁时，反社会儿童在呈现低强度表情时，对快乐和悲伤表情的解码准确性较低。此外，同期的反社会行为与将恐惧表情错误识别为悲伤表情有关。在纵向分析中，将恐惧错误识别为愤怒的儿童在 2 年后表现出反社会行为风险降低。该研究表明，与未来的反社会行为相比，同期的反社会行为与面部表情识别准确性有关。
