Fifty children and adolescents were tested for their ability to recognize the 6 basic facial expressions of emotion depicted in Ekman and Friesen's normed photographs. Subjects were presented with sets of 6 photographs of faces, each portraying a different basic emotion, and stories portraying those emotions were read to them. After each story, the subject was asked to point to the photograph in the set that depicted the emotion described. Overall, the children correctly identified the emotions on 74% of the presentations. The highest level of accuracy in recognition was for happiness, followed by sadness, with fear being the emotional expression that was mistaken most often. When compared to studies of children in the general population, children with ADHD have deficits in their ability to accurately recognize facial expressions of emotion. These findings have important implications for the remediation of social skill deficits commonly seen in children with ADHD.
对50名儿童和青少年进行了测试，以考察他们识别埃克曼和弗里森标准化照片中所描绘的6种基本面部表情的能力。向受试者展示一组6张面部照片，每张照片描绘一种不同的基本情绪，并给他们朗读描绘这些情绪的故事。每个故事讲完后，要求受试者指出该组照片中描绘所述情绪的那张照片。总体而言，孩子们在74%的展示中正确识别了情绪。识别准确率最高的是快乐，其次是悲伤，恐惧是最常被误认的情绪表达。与普通儿童的研究相比，患有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的儿童在准确识别面部表情情绪的能力上存在缺陷。这些发现对于纠正多动症儿童常见的社交技能缺陷具有重要意义。
