Abstract

Emotion recognition difficulties are linked to callous-unemotional (CU) traits, which predict risk for severe antisocial behavior. However, few studies have investigated how stimulus characteristics influence emotion recognition performance, which could give insight into the mechanisms underpinning CU traits. To address this knowledge gap, children aged 7-10 years old (N = 45; 53% female, 47% male; 46.3% Black/African-American, 25.9% White, 16.7% Mixed race or Other, 9.3% Asian) completed an emotion recognition task featuring static facial stimuli from child and adult models and facial and full-body dynamic stimuli from adult models. Parents reported on CU traits of children in the sample. Children showed better emotion recognition for dynamic than static faces. Higher CU traits were associated with worse emotion recognition, particularly for sad and neutral expressions. Stimulus characteristics did not impact associations between CU traits and emotion recognition.

冷酷无情特质与情绪识别困难：刺激特征起作用吗？

情绪识别困难与 "冷酷无情-缺乏情感"（CU）特质有关，而CU特质可预测严重反社会行为的风险。然而，很少有研究调查了刺激特征是如何影响情绪识别能力的，而情绪识别能力又是如何影响CU特质的。为了填补这一知识空白，7-10 岁的儿童（N = 45；53% 为女性，47% 为男性；46.3% 为黑人/非裔美国人，25.9% 为白人，16.7% 为混血或其他种族，9.3% 为亚洲人）完成了一项情绪识别任务，其中包括来自儿童和成人模型的静态面部刺激，以及来自成人模型的面部和全身动态刺激。家长报告了样本中儿童的 CU 特征。儿童对动态面部的情绪识别能力优于静态面部。CU特质越高，情绪识别能力越差，尤其是对悲伤和中性表情的识别能力。刺激特征并不影响 CU 特质与情绪识别之间的关联。
