Smile Production in Older Infants: The Importance of a Social Recipient for the Facial Signal.
Jones, Susan Scanlon; Raag, Tarja
Child Development, v60 n4 p811-18 Aug 1989
Examined effects of social objects on smile production in 44 infants aged 1 1/2 years. Infants directed most of the smiles produced during nonsocial activity to an attentive social object. Although smiling frequency was lower when the only potential recipient was inattentive, the effect did not appear to be mediated by negative emotion. (RJC)
