Facial emotion recognition profiles in middle childhood: Links to parenting and social–emotional functioning
Petra Laamanen, Noona Kiuru et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2026

To address this gap, we used a person-oriented approach to identify qualitatively distinct FER profiles based on accuracy and bias. The sample ( N = 3,717, 51% girls, baseline M age = 8.20, SD = 0.86) came from a Finnish social-emotional learning inter…

Paralanguage and the Interpersonal Impact of Dysphoria: It's Not What You Say but How You Say It
Open AccessJohn R Paddock, Steve Nowicki et al.ARTICLESocial Behavior and Personality…1986

Results suggest that moderately dysphoric normals are rejected to the extent that they speak in relatively soft, flat tones, with long pauses before “taking the floor” for an extended period of time. In addition, th…
