Abstract:
Difficulty recognizing negative emotions (NEs) in children is linked to increased antisocial traits and externalizing problems. Crucial aspects of this relation remain unclear, such as: whether NE recognition is associated with externalizing problems in general or only a particular subcomponent (i.e., aggression); whether subcomponents of NE recognition (i.e., insensitivity and misspecifications) are relatively more important; and how these relations change over the course of development. Children with lower NE recognition had higher initial, but not subsequent, overt aggression, even when controlling for non-aggressive externalizing symptoms. Age and gender did not moderate these findings. Both NE insensitivity and misspecifications were found to be uniquely important for children overt aggression. These findings highlight the importance of different forms of NE recognition and differentiating between aggressive and non-aggressive externalizing problems in children.
