"I'm Happy with My Mommy": Low-Income Preschoolers' Causal Attributions for Emotions.
Curenton, Stephanie M.; Wilson, Melvin N.
Early Education and Development, v14 n2 p199-213 Apr 2003
This study examined low-income African American and European American preschoolers' socioemotional causal attributions. Results indicate that younger preschoolers, particularly young African Americans, may need help articulating emotions. Adults can support children's emotional reasoning through scaffolding. (Author)
