About this Event
This lecture will present a research agenda that examines experimental parameters around how we may systematically interpret children's and adolescent's drawings of single and complex emotional experiences. It will consider influences that determine aspects of children's affective drawings that may be misinterpreted by the viewer and propose questions that can be asked to inform closer interpretation of intended visual communication. The lecture will also present research that examines children's and adolescent's representations of mixed emotion experiences and the impact the findings can have on emotional assessment work with young people.
The lecture will be held in the Showroom
