The emotions test
This is a photo of a woman who is afraid. The emotion on her face is fear. When psychologists showed a picture like this to a group of adults and a group of teenagers, 100% of the adults correctly identified the emotion. However, only 50% of teenagers recognised that the emotion was fear. Some thought that it was surprise, others thought that it was anger. The results of many studies seem to show that in our teenage years we are not always good at recognising emotions.
Take the test. Match photos A-H with descriptions 1-8.
1. OK. It’s great that I won a prize for my project, but now everybody’s looking at me. Is that embarrassing or what?
2. I’ve got a friend who lets her pet dog lick her face sometimes. Yuck! I think it’s disgusting.
3. It’s stressful when my son is out late and doesn’t call. At least he could send me a message or something. He’s probably OK, but I’m still worried.
4. I hate it when I’m cycling and motorists drive too near me. Once I got really annoyed at a bad driver and I shouted at him at some traffic lights. I was SO angry.
5. When you find out that you’ve got a new baby cousin and you see how tiny he is, it’s very surprising. He’s so cute!
6. I’m not afraid of many things, but there’s something about wasps ... I just find them really frightening. I think I had a bad experience with them when I was young.
7. Watching this video about the history of Alaska is the most boring thing I’ve done in my life! And does anyone feel sympathetic for me? NO!
8. Yay!!! I’ve passed my driving test, at last! This is so exciting! And my instructor is going to be so pleased. These last two years of lessons haven’t exactly been relaxing for him!
