Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore if the social difficulties experienced by incarcerated youth are related, in part, to some deficit in perceiving socially important information conveyed by facial expressions of emotion. Furthermore, it sought to investigate the underlying structural or functional impairment of processing facial emotion within this subpopulation. -- p.ii.
