Emotion Displays in Two-Year-Olds during Mishaps.

Cole, Pamela M.; And Others

Child Development, v63 n2 p314-24 Apr 1992

Examined the emotional reactions of toddlers to two mishaps. Children's reactions varied along two dimensions: tension and frustration and concerned reparation. Mishaps elicited more negative emotions than did free play, and most toddlers attempted to correct the mishap. Findings indicate that children's styles of emotional response to mishaps may be related to maternal mental health. (GLR)
