Testing a Core Emotion-Regulation Prediction: Does Early Attentional Persistence Moderate the Effect of Infant Negative Emotionality on Later Development?
Belsky, Jay; Friedman, Sarah L.; Hsieh, Kuang-Hua
Child Development, v72 n1 p123-33 Jan-Feb 2001
Used NICHD Early Child Care data to examine effects of attentional persistence on relationship of infant negative emotionality to age 3 outcomes. Found that high negative emotionality related to low social competence only when attentional persistence was poor. Found no moderating effects of attentional persistence for behavior problems. High negative emotionality predicted high school readiness when persistence was high. (Author/KB)
