Time Course and Control of Emotion: Age Differences in Understanding and Recognition.

Brown, Kirk; And Others

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v37 n2 p273-87 Apr 1991

Studied age differences in children's understanding of (1) changes in emotional reactions to situations; and (2) the possibility that emotion might be controlled by situational or cognitive strategies. Children aged 4 to 15 years were more likely to suggest situational strategies than cognitive strategies for controlling emotion. (Author/GH)
