Perception of Cries by Parents and Nonparents: Relation to Cry Acoustics.
Green, James A.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v23 n3 p370-82 May 1987
Adults' perceptions of infants' cries were evaluated by means of multidimensional scaling. Twenty-four nonparents and 20 parents judged the similarity of all possible pairs of 12 recorded cries. Subjects also rated the cries on 29 attributes, including perceived aversiveness, possible caretaking responses, affective responses, and semantic differential items. (Author/BN)
