The Peruvian version of the Infant Facial Expression of Emotions from Looking at Pictures
(IFEEL), instrument that assessed the interpretation of emotions from children’s faces
pictures is presented. The original version from Emde, Osofsky & Butterfield (1993) was
developed in the United States and involves 30 stimuli. The Peruvian version involves 25
pictures of children with prototypic facial features of the majority of Peruvian population.
A sample of 363 men and women of middle and low socio-economic status between 19
and 45 years old was recruited to develop the Peruvian version. From the results, a lexicon
was created with the words that were used by the participants to designate the 14 groups of emotion that were obtained. The majority of these groups had an adequate reliability for
temporal stability. Finally, it was found that the socio-economic status (SES) is a variable that generates significant differences in the way how persons interpret the emotions. Therefore, referential values of differentiated interpretation were created from this variable.
