Main Components

Accurate interpretation of pain expressed by others is important for socialization; however, the development of this skill in children is still poorly understood. Empathy for pain models propose two main components (affective and cognitive), which develop at different stages of life. The study’s objective was to investigate the children’s ability between 3 and 12 years of age to detect and assess the pain intensity in others using visual stimuli depicting either facial expressions of pain or hands in painful contexts. 40 preschool children and 62 school-aged children were recruited. Children observed series of stimuli and evaluated the pain intensity depicted. Results demonstrated that children as young as three years old were able to detect and assess pain in both types of stimuli and this ability continued to improve until the age of 12. Participants demonstrated better detection performance with hands than with faces. Results were coherent with the idea that the two types of stimuli presented recruit different processes. Pain detection in hands appears to rely mostly on affective sharing processes that are effective early in life, while older children’s higher ability to perceive pain in facial expressions suggests that this ability is associated with the gradual development of cognitive processes.

The Mind

People perceive the mind in two dimensions: intellectual and affective. Advances in artificial intelligence enable people to perceive the intellectual mind of a robot through their semantic interactions. Conversely, it has been still controversial whether a robot has an affective mind of its own without any intellectual actions or semantic interactions. We investigated pain experiences when observing three different facial expressions of a virtual agent modeling affective minds (i.e., painful, unhappy, and neutral). The cold pain detection threshold of 19 healthy subjects was measured as they watched a black screen, then changes in their cold pain detection thresholds were evaluated as they watched the facial expressions. Subjects were asked to rate the pain intensity from the respective facial expressions. Changes of cold pain detection thresholds were compared and adjusted by the respective pain intensities. Only when watching the painful expression of a virtual agent did, the cold pain detection threshold increase significantly. By directly evaluating intuitive pain responses when observing facial expressions of a virtual agent, we found that we ‘share’ empathic neural responses, which can be intuitively emerge, according to observed pain intensity with a robot (a virtual agent).

World Report

Everyday in this country, approximately 2 to 5 million 6- to 13-year-old children are in their own care1,2 (US News and World Report, Sept 14, 1981, pp 42, 47). In addition, at least 20,000 children younger than 6 years care for themselves.1 These figures are estimates because many parents do not like to admit to the practice of leaving their children alone. The most common time children are in selfcare is after school, and the most common reason is because their parents work and alternative care arrangements might be unavailable or unaffordable. Currently, 47% of mothers of preschool children and 64% of mothers of school-aged children work outside of the home.3 This situation, coupled with the increasing number of families headed by women, the staggering 50% divorce rate in this country, and the disappearance of the extended family, creates a situation in which certain children must care for themselves.

Abstract Background Chronic pain in Veterans is a major problem compounded by comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. Adopting a transdiagnostic framework to understanding “shared territory” among these diagnoses has the potential to inform our understanding of the underlying cognitive processes and mechanisms that transverse diagnostic boundaries. Purpose To examine the associations between pain-related cognitive processes (diversion, distancing, absorption, and openness), pain intensity, PTSD and depressive symptoms, and the extent to which Veterans with chronic pain with and without comorbid PTSD and depression engage in different/similar pain-related cognitive processes. Methods Secondary analysis of pretreatment data with a subsample (n = 147) of Veterans with chronic pain from a larger clinical trial. Pretreatment PCL-5 and PROMIS Depression scales were used to categorize participants into three groups: (a) Pain-only; (b) Pain-PTSD; and (c) Pain-PTSD-DEP. Results Compared to the Pain-only group, the Pain-PTSD and Pain-PTSD-DEP groups reported significantly greater pain intensity, PTSD and depressive symptoms, and ruminative pain absorption. The Pain-PTSD-DEP group had significantly lower pain diversion and pain openness scores. When diversion and openness were used within the Pain-PTSD-DEP group, however, they were both associated with lower pain intensity and openness was additionally associated with lower PTSD scores. However, in the Pain-PTSD group, pain openness was associated with higher depression scores. Conclusions Across increasing complexity of comorbidity profiles (i.e., one vs. two comorbid conditions), ruminative absorption with pain emerged as a cognitive process that transverses diagnoses and contributes to worse outcomes. Nonjudgmental acceptance may not be universally beneficial, potentially depending upon the nature of comorbidity profiles.

Проблема формирования правосознания исследуется авторами в контексте социально-личностного развития детей дошкольного возраста. Ориентация на принципы гуманизации обусловили объективную потребность в формировании нравственных и правовых представлений детей дошкольного возраста для формирования социального поведения. Выявлены пробелы в психолого-педагогических методах и технологиях, необходимо расширить педагогическое содержание и критериальный инструментарий. Цель статьи: выявить уровень, компоненты и структуру правосознания у детей старшего дошкольного возраста и на этой основе разработать модель формирования правосознания в условиях дошкольной образовательной организации. Авторами представлены основные компоненты правосознания, их эмпирические показатели и функции с опорой на особенности детей дошкольного возраста. Разработана модель формирования правосознания у детей дошкольного возраста как системная организация заявленного психолого-педагогического процесса с циклической оценкой результативности. Статья будет полезна педагогам, исследователям, работникам дошкольного образования, родителям детей дошкольного возраста. The problem of the formation of legal consciousness is studied by the authors in the context of the social and personal development of preschool children. Orientation to the principles of humanization caused an objective need for the formation of moral and legal representations of preschool children for the formation of social behavior. Gaps in psychological and pedagogical methods and technologies have been identified, it is necessary to expand the pedagogical content and criteria tools. The purpose of the article is to identify the level, components and structure of legal awareness in older preschool children and, on this basis, to develop a model for the formation of legal awareness in the conditions of a preschool educational organization. The authors present the main components of legal awareness, their empirical indicators and functions based on the characteristics of preschool children. A model of the formation of legal awareness in preschool children as a systematic organization of the declared psychological and pedagogical process with a cyclic assessment of effectiveness is developed. The article will be useful for teachers, researchers, preschool education workers, parents of preschool children.

The purpose of the study of the psychological characteristics of the intellectual development of primary school students is to identify the problems that hinder the mastery of students in the educational process. The purpose of identifying this process directly, knowing what psychological phenomena will be in the process of learning, is also to provide some help to the teacher. First of all, it is necessary to consider mental processes and situations, the level of activity, as well as their speed. For example, some students are slow and some are fast. Some students are characterized by calmness, eye gestures, manners, facial expressions, others with weight in their movements, and facial expressions. In this article, I want to highlight the mental development of cognitive process of school children.

Movement Asymmetry

Equine orthopedic pain scales are targeted towards horses with moderate to severe orthopedic pain. Improved assessment of pain behavior and pain-related facial expressions at rest may refine orthopedic pain detection for mild lameness grades. Therefore, this study explored pain-related behaviors and facial expressions and sought to identify frequently occurring combinations. Orthopedic pain was induced by intra-articular LPS in eight horses, and objective movement asymmetry analyses were performed before and after induction together with pain assessments at rest. Three observers independently assessed horses in their box stalls, using four equine pain scales simultaneously. Increase in movement asymmetry after induction was used as a proxy for pain. Behaviors and facial expressions commonly co-occurred and were strongly associated with movement asymmetry. Posture-related scale items were the strongest predictors of movement asymmetry. Display of facial expressions at rest varied between horses but, when present, were strongly associated with movement asymmetry. Reliability of facial expression items was lower than reliability of behavioral items. These findings suggest that five body behaviors (posture, head position, location in the box stall, focus, and interactive behavior) should be included in a scale for live assessment of mild orthopedic pain. We also recommend inclusion of facial expressions in pain assessment.

Negative Facial Expression

Two experiments were conducted to examine effects of facial expressions upon social cognitive processes in which the impression of another person is formed. In each experiment, 30 female college students were induced to display or conceal their facial reactions to a hypothetical target person whose behaviors were mildly hostile (Exp. 1) or mildly friendly (Exp. 2), or their facial expressions were not manipulated. Displaying the facial expressions shifted the impression into the congruent directions with hedonic values corresponding to the facial expressions. Concealing the facial expressions, however, did not influence impression formation. Also, the positive-negative asymmetry was observed in the facial feedback effects, that is, the negative facial expression had a stronger effect on social cognition than the positive one.
