Abstract
This study assessed the influence of social evaluation on children's emotional experience and understanding. Sixty-six younger and older children (M ages = 7.12 and 12.06 years) were videotaped as they played a game, during which they received mild positive or negative feedback from another child of the same age and gender. Children's emotion report and understanding of their emotional responses were obtained in a postgame interview. Feedback valence influenced children's emotion expression, self-report, and their understanding of emotion. Girls displayed more positive and negative emotion than boys in response to social feedback and were also more accurate in reporting their initial facial expression
