Recognition of emotion in facial expressions is the process by which facial features are perceived and analyzed for the identification of the emotional state they denote. While this skill has been extensively studied, data is inconsistent on the topic of gender differences. Objective. To characterize basic emotion recognition in children and adolescents, establishing if there are distinctive profiles based on gender. Method. A digital adaptation of the Test Pictures of Facial Affects was used on a sample consisting of 147 subjects of both sexes, between 9 and 18 years old. Results. Women presented a superior performance in the recognition of expressions of disgust and surprise and lower reaction times in the set of basic emotions, while males stood out in fear recognition. Discussion. This research refreshes the nature vs. nurture debate, considering that processes of socialization, as well as biological and phylogenetic factors, are unavoidable elements to understand this process. Introducción. El reconocimiento de expresiones faciales emocionales consiste en el proceso de percepción y análisis de los rasgos faciales para la identificación del estado emocional que denotan. Aunque esta habilidad ha sido estudiada exhaustivamente, los datos son incongruentes con respecto a las diferencias entre sexos. Objetivo. Caracterizar el reconocimiento de emociones básicas en población infanto-juvenil, determinando si existen perfiles distintivos por sexo. Método. Se administró una adaptación digital del Test Pictures of Facial Affects a 147 participantes de ambos sexos, entre 9 y 18 años. Resultados. Las mujeres presentaron mejor desempeño en el reconocimiento de expresiones de asco y sorpresa, y menores tiempos de reacción en el conjunto de emociones básicas, mientras que los varones se desempeñaron mejor en el reconocimiento del miedo. Discusión. Esta investigación reactualiza el debate nature-nurture, ya que tanto los procesos de socialización como los determinantes biológicos y filogenéticos son elementos ineludibles para comprender este proceso.
