Abstract：
Although children display strong individual differences in emotion expression, they also engage in emotional synchrony or reciprocity with interaction partners. To understand this paradox between trait-like and dyadic influences, the goal of the current study was to investigate children\'s emotion expression using a Social Relations Model (SRM) approach. Playgroups consisting typically of four same-sex unfamiliar nine-year-old children (N = 202) interacted in a round-robin format (6 dyads per group). Each dyad completed two 5-minute tasks, a challenging frustration task and a cooperative planning task. Observers coded children\'s emotions during the tasks (happy, sad, angry, anxious, neutral) on a second-by-second basis. SRM analyses provided substantial evidence of both the trait-like nature of children\'s emotion expression (through significant effects for actor variance, multivariate actor-actor correlations, and multivariate intrapersonal correlations) and the dyadic nature of their emotion expression (through significant effects for partner variance, relationship variance, dyadic reciprocity correlations, and multivariate interpersonal correlations).
摘要：
尽管儿童在情感表达上表现出强烈的个体差异,他们还与互动伙伴进行情感同步或互惠。为了理解性状样影响和二元影响之间的悖论，本研究的目的是使用社会关系模型（SRM）方法调查儿童的情绪表达。通常由四个同性陌生的9岁儿童（N=202）组成的游戏组以循环形式（每组6个二元组）进行互动。每个二元完成两个5分钟的任务，具有挑战性的挫折任务和合作计划任务。观察者在任务中编码孩子的情绪(快乐，悲伤,生气,焦虑,中性)。SRM分析提供了儿童情绪表达的特质样性质的实质性证据(通过对演员方差的显著影响，多变量行动者-行动者相关性，和多变量内部相关性)及其情绪表达的二重性质(通过对伴侣方差的显著影响，关系方差，二进互惠相关，和多元人际相关性)。
