Emotional responsivity refers to the ability to acknowledge an affective stimuli by exhibiting emotion.[1] Any response, whether it is appropriate or not, would showcase the presence of this phenomenon. Although emotional responsivity is a general term that is applied to nonclinical populations, it has also been associated with individuals with schizophrenia and autism.

Emotional responsivity is said to have a unique association with social interaction. Studies suggest that social interaction, especially at home, can influence the way a child responds to emotional stimuli. For example, if child grew up in a home where emotional displays resulted in punishment or negative criticism, the child would have the tendency to find ways to hide their emotions.[2]

Measures of emotional responsivity

In experimental studies, emotional responsivity can be measured through various tasks, which would allow participants' facial expressions and behavior to be recorded and sometimes coded. Tasks used to measure emotional responsivity, particularly in children, include:

  • Facial stimuli: This task involves asking a participant to view pictures of human faces that display different facial expressions. Participants would then be asked to rate their emotional experience.The facial expression would be considered the affective stimuli.
  • Surprise Boxes: This task involves an experimenter opening a box in front of a participant, usually a child, and displaying either an amazed reaction, by saying "ohh" or, a frightened reaction, by saying "ahh."
  • Experimenter Distress: In this task, the experimenter bangs his or her knee, displaying distress [3]
  • Yummy Yucky: In this task, a child is asked to eat a certain food that was chosen by his or her parent. An experimenter then tastes the chosen food and either displays a pleased or disgusted facial expression.[4]

Emotional responsivity can also be examined through psycho-physiological approaches such as:

  • Facial electromyography
  • Skin conductance

Emotional Responsivity in Children With Sleep Deprivation

Sleeping issues in children have been linked to many physical and mental health problems later on in adulthood and created a greater risk for emotional and behavioral issues in children. Studies haven't been able to link the physiological functions with sleeping disturbances to these psychological consequences. [5] Emotional liability, responsivity, psychological responses to positive and negative picture stimuli have all been a result of sleep deprivation.

Doctors today are using neuroimaging to connect the relationship between sleep and neural mechanisms that cause emotional responsively in children. There studies resulted, "In general, the largest and most extensive sleep-related correlations for any emotion were found for disgust expressions" [5].

Emotional Responsivity in Children with Autism

There was a study done involving twenty six children with autism and fifteen children with other learning disabilities, in which an adult displayed some form of emotion to study how the children respond. They focused on attention, hedonic tone, latency to changes in tone and a emotional contagion summery was made. Studies showed correlations between measures of joint attention, emotional contagion, and the severity of autism. Results showed that children with autism did not demonstrate changes in affect, however their responses occurred much less than in comparison groups.
