Previous researches have shown that concrete mental state language (cMSL) about emotions related to children’s prosocial abilities, such as emotion understanding and helping behavior. However, little is known about whether cMSL about emotions (cMSLe) has a direct influence on children’s perception of emotions and what factors involved in cMSLe contribute to that effect. Usually, cMSLe contains high causality and richness of the linguistic quantity in comparison with simple MSL about emotions (sMSLe). In this study, we make three kinds of MSL by manipulating causality and linguistic quantity of MSLe (high causality/high linguistic quantity: cMSLe; low causality/high linguistic quantity: ambiguous MSLe; low causality/low linguistic quantity: sMSLe) and investigated empirically whether cMSLe influenced children’s perception of facial expressions using auditory priming task. One of the three kinds of MSLe was presented acoustically as priming stimulus. After that, a happy or sad face was showed up on a monitor as target stimulus. Children were asked to judge what emotion of face they saw by pushing a happy or sad button. Forty one five-years-old children participated in the task and their response time and accuracy were analyzed. As a result, in the incongruent condition that emotional valences of priming and target were incongruent, the accuracy of perception of emotions was decreased significantly when participant heard cMSLe prior to target stimulus. There was not significant finding in aMSLe and sMSLe condition. To conclude, it seems that children’s perception of facial expressions is influenced by concreteness of MSLe. In addition, it is not richness of the linguistic quantity but causality of cMSLe might contribute to children’s understanding of facial expressions. |
