Inoculation by Emotion: Effects of Positive Emotional States on Children's Reactions to Social Comparison.
Carlson, Charles R.; Masters, John C.
Developmental Psychology, v22 n6 p760-65 Nov 1986
Ninety 5- and 6-year-old children equally divided by sex were assigned randomly to one of three emotion-inducing conditions (self-focused happy, other-focused happy, or neutral emotion-inducing) and then given varying numbers of rewards. Results are discussed in terms of cognitive processes initiated by emotional states that may influence tolerance of aversive experiences. (Author/DR)
