García-González, Macarena – Children's Literature in Education, 2022
A long-asked question in children's literature studies is how the child reads the very same book we (adults) have read. In 1984, Peter Hunt argued for a "childist criticism" proposing that young readers' multiple individual responses to literature should inform adults' critical practice. In this article, I propose that affect theory and…

Kwon, Kyongboon; Willenbrink, Jessica B.; Bliske, Madeline N.; Brinckman, Bridget G. – Journal of Early Adolescence, 2022

We also examined the association between emotional experience and emotion sharing as well as the association between emotion sharing and prosocial behavior. Participants were 456 children (M[subscript age] = 10.6 years) from the Midwestern United…

Foglia, Victoria; Zhang, Haichao; Walsh, Jennifer A.; Rutherford, M. D. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
When perceiving emotional facial expressions, adults use a template-matching strategy, comparing the perceived face with a stored representation. A rejection of unnaturally exaggerated faces is characteristic of this strategy because the exaggerated expressions do not match the stored template. In contrast, a rule-based perceptual strategy (e.g.,…

Wallace, Gregory L.; Richard, Emily; Wolff, Alexandra; Nadeau, Monica; Zucker, Nancy – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Although food selectivity and so-called "picky" eating are well documented in autism spectrum disorder, emotion-linked eating has rarely been investigated. This study examined emotion-linked over- and under-eating based on parent ratings of these behaviors in 4- to 17-year-old children with autism spectrum disorder (n = 190) as compared…

From the perspective of positive psychology, the study and measurement of subjective well-being has popularized a growing interest towards variables such as affective perception.

Jun Zheng; Wenlu Liu; Ping Qian; Linlin Yan – Infant and Child Development, 2024

However, there is inconsistent evidence regarding how the impact of social exclusion changes with age. This study used the Cyberball paradigm to investigate the effects of exclusion and subsequent inclusion on primary needs…

Green, Darlene; Karafa, Kacie; Wilson, Stephanie – Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, 2021
The Dual-Process Model of grieving suggests that oscillation between negative and positive emotions occurs throughout the grieving process. If either negative or positive emotions are overly emphasized the grieving process could be stymied. To determine how art therapy can support this model, this study evaluated changes in positive and negative…
