Methods: a descriptive-correlational study was carried out in the municipality of Kuito, province of Bié, Republic of Angola, from September to July 2016. Theoretical methods were used: analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive, historical-logical and systemic-structural; empirical ones: observation and interview for the application of psychological assessment instruments: questionnaire of childhood emotions and test of perception of family functioning.
Results: about the frequency, in which emotions were expressed in schoolchildren, the intermediate response "sometimes" predominated in most emotions; among the pleasures they mentioned joy; while the unpleasant ones were anxiety and sadness, expressed from manifestations of extra verbal and verbal nature. In functional families, semi-expressive and expressive styles prevailed, while dysfunctional styles were distinguished by using a repressive or unadjusted expressive style, with the prevalence of authoritarianism and permissiveness.
