Sequential Analysis of Mastery Behavior in 6- and 12-Month-Old Infants.
MacTurk, Robert H.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v23 n2 p199-203 Mar 1987
Sequences of mastery behavior were analyzed in a sample of 67 infants 6 to 12 months old. Authors computed (a) frequencies of six categories of mastery behavior, transitional probabilities, and z scores for each behavior change, and (b) transitions from a mastery behavior to positive affect. Changes in frequencies and similarity in organization were found across ages. (Author/BN)
