Individual Differences in Emotionality in Infancy.
Kochanska, Grazyna; Coy, Katherine C.; Tjebkes, Terri L.; Husarek, Susan J.
Child Development, v69 n2 p375-90 Apr 1998
Examined 8- to 10-month-olds' responses to standard procedures eliciting joy, fear, anger, and discomfort. Found that response parameters to standard procedures cohered strongly within each episode. Responses cohered across same-emotion episodes, except for anger. Responses and father-reported temperament related to infant's emotional tone in mother-child interactions. Infants' capacity for effortful attention was associated with modulated negative emotionality. (Author/KB)
