Abstract

Giriş: Yüz ifadeleri insanlar arasında duygu alışverişini sağlamaktadır. Bu araştırmada görme yetersizliği olan ve gören çocukların oyun sırasında akranın sergilediği mutlu ve üzgün duygu ifadelerine verdikleri tepkiler karşılaştırılarak incelenmiştir.
Yöntem: Araştırmanın katılımcılarını 4-6 yaş aralığında 20 görme yetersizliği olan çocuk (10 az gören, 10 ağır görme yetersizliğinden etkilenen) ve 20 gören çocuk oluşturmuştur. Araştırma kapsamında, mutlu ve üzgün duygu durum bağlamları oluşturularak akranların mutlu ve üzgün duygu ifadelerini yansıtmaları sağlanmıştır. Akranının sergilediği duygu ifadelerine yönelik görme yetersizliği olan ve gören çocukların verdikleri duygu tepkileri gözlemlenmiştir. Araştırmada, katılımcı çocukların mutlu ve üzgün duygu ifadeleri tepkileri Görmezden Gelme, Fiziksel Yakınlık, Uyumlu Tepki, Dikkati Dağıtma, Tepki Vermeden Dikkatini Yöneltme, Uyumsuz Tepki ve Fiziksel Heyecan Tepkisi kategorilerinde kodlanmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırmanın bulguları, görme yetersizliği olan çocuklar ile gören çocukların duygu ifadelerine verdikleri tepkiler arasında farklılıklar olduğunu göstermiştir. Bulgular görme yetersizliği olan çocukların duygu durumlarında gören akranlarına oranla daha fazla görmezden gelme davranışları sergilediklerini göstermiştir.
Tartışma: Araştırmada çocukların mutlu ve üzgün duygu ifadelerine verdikleri tepkiler incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçları tartışılmış, ileri araştırmalara yönelik önerilere yer verilmiştir.

A Comparison of the Reactions to Emotional Expressions of Children with Visual Impairments and Sighted Children

Abstract

Introduction: Facial expressions provide emotional exchange among people. In this study, children’s reactions to happy and sad emotional expressions were examined during play time.
Method: The total study sample was 20 children with visual impairments (10 children with severe visual impairments, 10 children with low vision) and 20 sighted children who were between the age of 4 and 6 years. Happy and sad emotional states were reflected by peer partners during play interactions. Children with visual impairments and sighted children’s reactions to peer’s emotional states were observed. Coding scheme included seven categories; ignorance, physical comforting, positive response, distraction, directing attention without reacting, negative response, and physical excitement response.
Findings: Findings of the study showed that there was a difference between the emotional expression reactions of children with visual impairments and sighted children. Results indicated that children with visual impairments displayed more ignorance behaviors than sighted children.
Discussion: Children’s reactions to happy and sad emotional expressions were examined in this study. The findings of the study were discussed and suggestions for future studies were provided
