Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Difficulty recognizing emotions may contribute to childhood anxiety and anxiety-related social difficulties. METHODS: We examined the relationship between gender and emotion recognition accuracy in children with and without anxiety disorders. RESULTS: Gender did not predict emotion recognition accuracy except for disgust. DISCUSSION: Disgust recognition was significantly less accurate in clinically anxious girls than in clinically anxious boys. There was also a trend towards anxious girls being less accurate than non-anxious girls in recognizing disgust.
