Abstract

<p>The present study examined facial expression cognition features of students at a reformatory school, using a facial expression recognition task that was created on the basis of previous research. In order to evaluate the judgments of facial expressions in photos made by the group from a reformatory school (66 males; average age 19.2 years), their results were compared with the results from a group of 60 male university students (average age 20.15 years) without any delinquency history or developmental disorders. The comparison, which included all genders and photos presented in the task, revealed that the percentage of correct answers was relatively lower in the reformatory student group than in the university student group, especially in the recognition of expressions of sadness, fear, and disgust. In addition, the analysis of the error rate showed that the reformatory student group tended to confuse sadness and disgust, and to misinterpret disgust as anger and fear as sadness in the photos of males. The results of the present study may have limitations because of restrictions in the selection of participants. However, the study suggests that the reformatory school students failed to interpret the correct intentions of others from their facial expressions. This may be a factor in their problems with interpersonal relationships. In particular, the reformatory school students tended to consider others to be aggressive.</p>
