Bleichfeld, Bruce; Moely, Barbara E.
Developmental Psychology, v20 n6 p1082-91 Nov 1984
Investigates psychophysiological reactions of 60 women to an infant's cry and to a control sound. The 30-second pain cry evoked greater cardiac and electrodermal activity than did the control stimulus, although selected groups varied in the nature and extent of their reactions.
