  1. Exploring the role of COVID-19 pandemic-related changes in social interactions on preschoolers' emotion labeling.Stephanie Wermelinger, Lea Moersdorf, Simona Ammann & Moritz M. Daum - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.
    During the COVID-19 pandemic people were increasingly obliged to wear facial masks and to reduce the number of people they met in person. In this study, we asked how these changes in social interactions are associated with young children's emotional development, specifically their emotion recognition via the labeling of emotions. Preschoolers labeled emotional facial expressions of adults and children in fully visible faces. In addition, we assessed children's COVID-19-related experiences and recorded children's gaze behavior during emotion labeling. We compared different (...)

  • Mapping the perception-space of facial expressions in the era of face masks.Alessia Verroca, Chiara Maria de Rienzo, Filippo Gambarota & Paola Sessa - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.
    With the advent of the severe acute respiratory syndrome-Corona Virus type 2 pandemic, the theme of emotion recognition from facial expressions has become highly relevant due to the widespread use of face masks as one of the main devices imposed to counter the spread of the virus. Unsurprisingly, several studies published in the last 2 years have shown that accuracy in the recognition of basic emotions expressed by faces wearing masks is reduced. However, less is known about the impact that (...)

  • Duration of face mask exposure matters: evidence from Swiss and Brazilian kindergartners’ ability to recognise emotions.Ebru Ger, Mirella Manfredi, Ana Alexandra Caldas Osório, Camila Fragoso Ribeiro, Alessandra Almeida, Annika Güdel, Marta Calbi & Moritz M. Daum - 2024 - Cognition and Emotion 38 (6):857-871.
    Wearing facial masks became a common practice worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study investigated (1) whether facial masks that cover adult faces affect 4- to 6-year-old children’s recognition of emotions in those faces and (2) whether the duration of children’s exposure to masks is associated with emotion recognition. We tested children from Switzerland (N = 38) and Brazil (N = 41). Brazil represented longer mask exposure due to a stricter mandate during COVID-19. Children had to choose a face displaying (...)

  • Understanding the Impact of Face Masks on the Processing of Facial Identity, Emotion, Age, and Gender.Daniel Fitousi, Noa Rotschild, Chen Pnini & Omer Azizi - 2021 - Frontiers in Psychology 12.
    The COVID-19 pandemic has introduced new challenges for governments and individuals. Unprecedented efforts at reducing virus transmission launched a novel arena for human face recognition in which faces are partially occluded with masks. Previous studies have shown that masks decrease accuracy of face identity and emotion recognition. The current study focuses on the impact of masks on the speed of processing of these and other important social dimensions. Here we provide a systematic assessment of the impact of COVID-19 masks on (...)

  • The Effects of Separate Facial Areas on Emotion Recognition in Different Adult Age Groups: A Laboratory and a Naturalistic Study.Larissa L. Faustmann, Lara Eckhardt, Pauline S. Hamann & Mareike Altgassen - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.
    The identification of facial expressions is critical for social interaction. The ability to recognize facial emotional expressions declines with age. These age effects have been associated with differential age-related looking patterns. The present research project set out to systematically test the role of specific facial areas for emotion recognition across the adult lifespan. Study 1 investigated the impact of displaying only separate facial areas versus the full face on emotion recognition in 62 younger and 65 middle-aged adults. Study 2 examined (...)

  • Reading Emotions in Faces With and Without Masks Is Relatively Independent of Extended Exposure and Individual Difference Variables.Claus-Christian Carbon, Marco Jürgen Held & Astrid Schütz - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.
    The ability to read emotions in faces helps humans efficiently assess social situations. We tested how this ability is affected by aspects of familiarization with face masks and personality, with a focus on emotional intelligence. To address aspects of the current pandemic situation, we used photos of not only faces per se but also of faces that were partially covered with face masks. The sample, the size of which was determined by an a priori power test, was recruited in Germany (...)
