Reading Emotions Through a Surgical Mask.

- Abstract
Our faces provide information about our emotions, personal identity, trustworthiness, attractiveness, age, and sex. However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, mask-wearing, which occludes 60% of the face, has become pervasive. Consequently, some clinicians and educators have expressed concern about the effect of masks on social, emotional, and cognitive health in adults and during child and adolescent development. This paper investigates the impact of mask-wearing on the ability of children, adolescents, and adults to identify emotions. In particular, this paper explores the typical development of emotion)reading abilities, emotion reading through masks, and emotion reading in specific populations such as those with disabilities and those from various cultural backgrounds. The paper ends with a framework for improving communication through masks.
