Infants' Responses to Their Mothers' Expressions of Joy and Sadness.
Termine, Nancy T.; Izard, Carroll E.
Developmental Psychology, v24 n2 p223-29 Mar 1988
Infants expressed more joy and looked longer at their mothers during a joy condition, and they showed more sadness, anger, and gaze aversion during a sadness condition. They engaged in more play behavior in the joy condition than in the sadness condition. Several significant relations between infants' gaze behavior, emotion expressions, and play behavior were found.
