- Abstract
Emotion discrimination, regulation, and cognitive control are three associated, however distinguishable processes that appear over the course of development. The present study had tried to investigate the patterns of emotion identification, discrimination and expression in encephalitis survivor children. A total of 60 children aged between 5- 15 years had participated in the study. Amongst them 30 were affected with encephalitis and 30 were not (normal children). Six emotion based faces and videotapes were used to understand the three dimensions of emotions i.e. identification, discrimination and expression. The findings suggested that there were significant differences in encephalitis affected and normal children on the performances of three emotion based tasks. Particularly the encephalitis survivors were unable to express emotions properly; however, they use to identify happiness, sadness, and anger but not fear, surprise and disgust. Such children also had problems in discrimination and expression of emotions depending on the level of cognitive impairment caused by encephalitis.
