Development of Children's Inferences of the Emotions of Others.
Thompson, Ross A.
Developmental Psychology, v23 n1 p124-31 Jan 1987
Second graders, fifth graders, and college students heard 12 stories that varied systematically by situational domain, outcome, and causal attribution. Students were asked to infer the story character's emotion at the end of the story and give reasons for it. Contributions and limitations of Weiner's attribution-emotion model are assessed in light of the findings. (Author/RH)
