Conversations About Feeling States Between Mothers and Their Young Children.

Dunn, Judy; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v23 n1 p132-39 Jan 1987

Two longitudinal studies focused on naturally occurring conversations at home among (1) 18- and 24-month-old second-born children, mothers, and older siblings, and (2) first-born children 25 and 32 months old, mothers, and younger siblings. By two years of age most children referred to a range of feeling states in self and other, and discussed the cause of feeling states. (Author/RH)
