Note:

1

Because the 441 episodes could contain multiple FACS-based expression scores (i.e., one score for each of six discrete emotion categories per episode), the total number of FACS-based expressions will be greater than the total number of episodes and will vary across type of expression (none, partial, full).

2

Children’s emotion ratings were missing for five episodes due to audiovisual failures.

3

Children were able to select “Other Emotion” and were instructed to report what other emotion(s) they were feeling; these reports were then examined for fit within the six discrete emotion categories and the category of no emotion. Responses that matched a provided category (N = 19 episodes) were rescored accordingly and are not included in this cell.
