Developmental Differences in the Understanding of and Reaction to Others' Inhibition of Emotional Expression.
Rotenberg, Ken J.; Eisenberg, Nancy
Developmental Psychology, v33 n3 p526-37 May 1997
Kindergarten through college students heard stories or observed peer interactions in which the protagonist or the peer expressed or did not express emotion when encountering events that caused (relevant-inhibitory) or did not cause (irrelevant) inhibition of an emotion. Kindergartners judged that relevant-inhibitory causes decreased peers' emotions. Older individuals ascribed greater emotion to the peer under relevant-inhibitory than irrelevant conditions. (BC)
