Abstract
Facial expression is one of the most important social indicators that allows people to know our emotions. Emotion recognition is mostly defined as an ability to understand facial expressions. The study is aimed at designing a test to measure emotion recognition and determine its psychometric properties. A test consists of 44 (male/female and mild/intense) facial expressions that were designed to measure 6 basic emotions. 240 students were selected using a cluster sampling method. Split-halves and Kuder-Richardson coefficients were used to assess the reliability of the test. In order to assess the construct validity of the task the Pearson coefficients were calculated between total score and 6 scales. Relationships between the total score of the Emotion Recognition Task, Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), and Theory of Mind test (ToM) were calculated to show convergent construct validity. The results showed that the test is reliable and valid.
