DENTZ, Marisa von  e  AMORIM, Katia de Souza. Emotional expression among infants in a nursery care institution: systematic literature review . Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2019, vol.25, n.1, pp.133-154. ISSN 1677-1168.  https://doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2019v25n1p133-154.

This paper presents a systematic literature review on emotional expression among pairs of infants interacting in a day care institution. The following databases were applied: Scielo, Pepsic, Lilacs, Psycinfo, and Eric, by matching the keywords "bebê($)", "baby", "infant development", "interação", "social interaction", "emoção", "facial expression", "emotion", "creche", "day care" and "nursery". A total of 24 studies were analyzed. Most studies are empirical, with qualitative perspective recognizing the babies’ emotional expressivity exclusively on the face and in their relationship with adults. The conclusion highlights the importance of works that follow longitudinally interaction of pairs of infants, considering not only the face but all the child’s corporeality. Having in mind the assumption that there is a variety of emotional expressivity in babies’ interaction at a day care nursery institution, in the first year of life, future studies approaching the subject are yet required.
