Bleichfeld, Bruce; Moely, Barbara E.
Developmental Psychology, v20 n6 p1082-91 Nov 1984
Investigates psychophysiological reactions of 60 women to an infant's cry and to a control sound. The 30-second pain cry evoked greater cardiac and electrodermal activity than did the control stimulus, although selected groups varied in the nature and extent of their reactions. Both maternal state and experience with infants affected reactions. (Author/CB)
