Abstract

To investigate the effects of wearing masks on children's emotion recognition, regulation, and social emotional development, 200 children aged 4-6 will be given a series of vignettes and asked to match masked and unmasked facial expressions of the emotions as their gaze is being monitored using an eye tracker.
