On the Distinction Between Fear and Wariness
Bronson, Gordon W.; Pankey, William B.
Child Development, 48, 4, 1167-83, Dec 77
A sample of 40 babies was observed in a variety of mildly challenging situations throughout their second year and in a series of follow-up assessments at age 31/2. Findings revealed two types of avoidant mechanism--wariness of the unfamiliar and fearfulness after exposure to a mildly difficult situation. (JMB)
