@entity1 's @entity1650 ( @entity1650 ) has constantly received a great deal of attention in developmental science. However, since previous reports focused on only English emotion vocabulary, researchers thus far remained unclear as to the developmental trajectories of @entity1650 (to Chinese emotion words) in Chinese @entity1 , let alone the cross-cultural difference of @entity1650 in different languages (i.e., English V.S. Chinese). Furthermore, the influence of valence on @entity1650 , as well as the interaction mechanism between @entity1650 and empathy, has not been fully investigated. Finding answers to these @entity25408 has become the main motivation of the current study. For this purpose, a Chinese emotion vocabulary was first constructed to estimate @entity1650 of Chinese @entity1 (ages 2-13 years old). Then, the valence of each emotion word was evaluated using the standard 9-point scale approach. After that, the Chinese @entity1 's @entity1650 and empathy were measured in terms of parental ratings. Finally, all data collected were statistically analyzed to reveal the influence of the valence of @entity1650 , the relation between @entity1650 and empathy, and the cross-cultural difference of @entity1 's @entity1650 between China and UK from the viewpoint of developmental science. The main results of the current study included the following: (i) @entity1650 in general increased with age for Chinese @entity1 ages 2-13 years old, however, there was a dramatic increase during ages 6-8 years old; (ii) @entity1650 of positive emotion words in general developed better than that of negative and neutral ones for Chinese @entity1 (ages 2-13 years old); and the disadvantage of @entity1650 to negative emotion words over neutral ones was gradually observed with the increase of age, even though there were no significant differences between them from the beginning; (iii) @entity1650 completely mediated the effect of age on empathy; and (iv) @entity1650 of @entity1 in UK developed better than Chinese counterparts during the early childhood period (ages 4-6 years old), then Chinese counterparts developed better during the middle childhood period (ages 7-10 years old), however, there was no significant difference of @entity1650 between both groups during the late childhood period (ages 11-12 years old).
