Identifying emotions and feelings: exploratory study with elementary and high school students

Conclusion The results found corroborate with investigations in this area. Children and adolescents have poor capacity to identify and differentiate emotions, although they show greater capacity to differentiate positive emotions rather than negative or neutral emotions. We also observed that female students have more competence to differentiate and identify emotions, and these competences increase with age.
