Maternal facial behavior and the recognition and production of emotional expression by maltreated and nonmaltreated children.
Abstract
20 maltreated and 20 nonmaltreated children (ages = 3-7 years) and their mothers were observedduring a laboratory play session and 7 home observation visits. Ss facial behavior was video recordedin the lab and coded live by observers in the home. Children also participated in an emotionalexpressionrecognition task. Data analysis showed that both maltreatment status and mothers' facialbehavior were predictors of children's recognition scores. Positive relationships were also found betweenmothers' and children's expressive behavior. Although maltreated and nonmaltreated childrendiffered significantly in their recognition of emotional facial expressions, group differences were notfound for either mothers' or children's expressive behavior. Overall, this study's findings indicatethat children's recognition and production of facial expressions depends in part on the expressiveenvironment provided by their mothers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
