Children's Use of Situational Information to Infer Emotion: Understanding Emotionally Equivocal Situations
Gnepp, Jackie; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v23 n1 p114-23 Jan 1987
Children in kindergarten, first, second, and third grades heard scenarios in which a child experienced an emotionally equivocal or unequivocal event. Subjects were asked questions which assessed their ability to discriminate between equivocal and unequivocal situations. Two follow-up studies were conducted. Implications for children's social sensitivity are discussed. (Author/RH)
