Contradicting evidence exists regarding the link between loneliness and sensitivity to facial cues of emotion, as loneliness has been related to better but also to worse performance on facial emotion recognition tasks. This study aims to contribute to this debate and extends previous work by (a) focusing on both accuracy and sensitivity to detecting positive and negative expressions, (b) controlling for depressive symptoms and social anxiety, and (c) using an advanced emotion recognition task with videos of neutral adolescent faces gradually morphing into full-intensity expressions. Participants were 170 adolescents (49% boys; M = 13.65 years) from rural, low-income schools. Results showed that loneliness was associated with increased sensitivity to happy, sad, and fear faces. When controlling for depressive symptoms and social anxiety, loneliness remained significantly associated with sensitivity to sad and fear faces. Together, these results suggest that lonely adolescents are vigilant to negative facial cues of emotion.
关于孤独感与对面部情感线索的敏感度之间的联系，存在相互矛盾的证据，因为孤独感既与面部情感识别任务中更好的表现有关，也与更差的表现有关。本研究旨在为这一争论做出贡献，并通过以下方式扩展先前的研究：（a）关注检测积极和消极表情的准确性和敏感度；（b）控制抑郁症状和社交焦虑；（c）使用一项先进的情感识别任务，该任务采用中性青少年面孔的视频逐渐演变成全强度表情。参与者是来自农村低收入学校的170名青少年（49%为男孩；平均年龄M = 13.65岁）。结果表明，孤独感与对快乐、悲伤和恐惧面孔的敏感度增加有关。在控制抑郁症状和社交焦虑后，孤独感仍与对悲伤和恐惧面孔的敏感度显著相关。总之，这些结果表明孤独的青少年对负面面部情感线索保持警惕。
