Abstract

Emotions change from one moment to the next. They have a duration from seconds to hours and then transition to other emotions. Here, we describe the early ontology of these key aspects of emotion dynamics. In five cross-sectional studies (N = 904) combining parent surveys and ecological momentary assessment, we characterize how caregivers’ perceptions of children’s emotion duration and transitions change over the first 5 years of life and how they relate to children’s language development. Across these ages, the duration of children’s emotions increased, and emotion transitions became increasingly organized by valence, such that children were more likely to transition between similarly valenced emotions. Children with more mature emotion profiles also had larger vocabularies and could produce more emotion labels. These findings advance our understanding of emotion and communication by highlighting their intertwined nature in development and by charting how dynamic features of emotion experiences change over the first years of life.

童年时期有组织情绪动态的出现。
情绪在不同的时刻会发生变化。它们的持续时间从几秒到几小时不等,然后过渡到其他情绪。在这里,我们描述了情绪动态的这些关键方面的早期本体。在五项结合家长调查和生态学瞬间评估的横断面研究(N = 904)中,我们描述了照顾者对儿童情绪持续时间和过渡的看法在儿童出生后前五年的变化情况,以及它们与儿童语言发展的关系。在这些年龄段中,儿童情绪的持续时间增加了,情绪的转换也越来越有组织,儿童更有可能在类似情绪之间转换。情绪特征更成熟的儿童的词汇量也更大,能产生更多的情绪标签。这些发现突出了情绪和交流在儿童成长过程中的相互交织性,并描绘了情绪体验的动态特征在生命最初几年的变化过程,从而加深了我们对情绪和交流的理解:在线版本包含补充材料,可在10.1007/s42761-024-00248-y上获取。
