欣赏真实和不真实的情感交流是建立信任和亲密人际关系的核心。然而，婴儿何时能够辨别和反应不真实的情绪还没有调查。本研究旨在探讨婴儿对3种不真实性线索的敏感性：情绪的情境一致性、情绪的夸张程度和情绪传达的清晰度。在每一个实验中，16个月和19个月大的婴儿被呈现出一种情感交流，其中存在或不存在不真实的线索。观察婴儿对情绪情境的行为反应并编码。在所有3个实验中，19个月大的婴儿，而不是16个月大的婴儿，检测到不真实的情感交流，并相应地对环境做出不同的反应。这些发现表明，婴儿并不简单地把所有的情感交流的表面价值，是敏感的情感环境的功能超出了表达沟通的成年人。可能的发展机制，可以解释所观察到的发展转变，婴儿的情绪发展提出了建议，目前的研究结果对未来的研究在情绪和情绪发展的影响突出。
Appreciating authentic and inauthentic emotional communication is central to the formation of trusting and intimate interpersonal relationships. However, when infants are able to discriminate and respond to inauthentic emotion has not been investigated. The present set of studies was designed to investigate infant sensitivity to 3 specific cues of inauthenticity: the contextual congruency of the emotion, the degree of exaggeration of the emotion, and the clarity with which the emotion is communicated. In each experiment, 16-and 19-month-old infants were presented with an emotional communication in which an inauthentic cue was present or absent. Infant behavioral responding to the emotional context was observed and coded. In all 3 experiments, 19-month-old infants, but not 16-month-old infants, detected inauthentic emotional communication and differentially responded to the environment accordingly. These findings demonstrate that infants do not simply take all emotional communication at face value and are sensitive to features of emotional contexts beyond what is expressively communicated by the adult. Possible developmental mechanisms that may account for the observed developmental shift in infant emotional development are proposed, and implications for the present findings on future research in emotion and emotional development are highlighted.
