Mothers, Fathers, and Infants: The Role of Person Familiarity and Parental Involvement in Infants' Perception of Emotion Expressions.
Montague, Diane P. F.; Walker-Andrews, Arlene S.
Child Development, v73 n5 p1339-52 Sep-Oct 2002
Explored the effect of person familiarity and parental involvement on 3.5-month-old infants' sensitivity to the dynamic emotion expressions of others. Found that infants looked differentially at mothers' expressions but not at those of fathers or unfamiliar adults, and that parent-child involvement significantly influenced infants' developing understanding of others' emotion expressions.
