Preschoolers' Attributions of the Situational Determinants of Others' Naturally Occuring Emotions.
Fabes, Richard A.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v24 n3 p376-85 May 1988
Preschoolers were accurate in identifying the situational determinants of others' real emotions. Their strategies for remediating negative affect in others were consistent with the type and attributional basis of the emotion to be altered. Further, they used contextual information in significantly different and meaningful ways across and within emotions. (RH)
