The purpose of this study was to examine children`s understanding of the distinction between real and apparent emotion.
The conclusion was as follows;
1. 9-, 10-11--year-olds could distinguish more accurately between real and apparent emotion than 4-,5-,6-year-olds, however 4-,5-,6-year-olds also could distinguish.
2. Children`s choice of emotion was differed by story valence and choice of emotion in negative stories was more accurate than positive stories.
3. 9-, 10-11--year-olds produced more correct justification in choice of emotion than 4-,5-,6-year-olds, however 4-,5-,6-year-olds did not produce inappropriate or uninformative replies either. Justifications in response to apparent questions were more affluent than justifications in response to reality questions.
