Abstract: This study is based on the pictures of one-year-old Chinese babies showing their facial expressions of six emotions, i. e. happiness, surprise, sadness, anger, disgust and fear. The experiment also included discriminative and labeling tests.The patterns shown here are basically the same as those of non-Chinese babies described by Izard in "Max". The results support the postulation that there are basic facial expression patterns in human infancy thus proving that there exists cross-cultural nature in the basic emotional facial expression patterns.
