Abstract
Objectives: Sleep deprivation (SD) has detrimental effects on cognition. Emotional processing, a critical component of social cognition, is also affected by SD. However, current research on how SD affects emotion recognition and the specific emotion recognition that declines with SD is inconsistent. The present study meta-analyzed results of studies examining emotion category recognition changes in SD compared with controls.
Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, PsychINFO, MEDLINE, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases were searched. Studies on the impact of acute SD or insomnia on emotional recognition and participants aged 18 years or older were included in this review. The JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist and GRADE approach were used to assess the quality of the studies and evidence.
Results: Twelve studies with 414 SD and 399 control participants were included in this meta-analysis. The SD group performed poorer on facial sadness (MD = -4.35; 95% CI, -7.99 to -0.71) and happiness (MD = -1.75; 95% CI, -3.25 to -0.26) recognition than the control group (normal sleep condition). The reaction time of the SD group was significantly longer than that of the control group for all emotional categories. The intensity rating of facial emotions showed no difference between the two groups.
Conclusions: Sleep deprivation slows individuals' reactions in facial emotion recognition tasks and weakens their ability to recognize sadness and happiness. Future studies should identify the effects of SD, SD duration, and recovery time on different types of emotion recognition.
期刊介绍:
The International Review of Social Psychology (IRSP) is supported by the Association pour la Diffusion de la Recherche Internationale en Psychologie Sociale (A.D.R.I.P.S.). The International Review of Social Psychology publishes empirical research and theoretical notes in all areas of social psychology. Articles are written preferably in English but can also be written in French. The journal was created to reflect research advances in a field where theoretical and fundamental questions inevitably convey social significance and implications. It emphasizes scientific quality of its publications in every area of social psychology. Any kind of research can be considered, as long as the results significantly enhance the understanding of a general social psychological phenomenon and the methodology is appropriate.
