الملخص EN

The current research aims at identifying the relationship between the skill of distinguishing emotional expressions and some variables (school year, gender, age, and place) among a sample of psychological counseling students at the Faculty of Education at Damascus University.

The research population consists of five-year students in the Faculty of Education with the Psychological Counseling for the 2015 2016 academic year.

The sample included (47) students distributed in a random stratified manner.

The researcher used a tool consisting of six facial expressions: surprise, happiness, sadness, fear, disgust and anger which (Kessels, Montagne, Hendriks, Perrett, & Haan, 2014) used it in their research.

The results showed that there was no correlation between the skill of distinguishing emotional facial expressions and the three variables in addition to the absence of statistically significant differences between school years and males and females, although females showed a better skill in distinguishing facial expression as well as the absence of differences between students residing in rural and urban areas.

In the light of the results of the research, the researcher suggested the need to use and teach non-verbal communication in the psychological counseling curriculum, conducting special training for students and teachers related to body language, and conducting further studies on other variables not covered in the current research.
