The Languages of Affect: Developmental and Functional Considerations.

Scholnick, Ellin Kofsky; And Others

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v39 n3 p311-25 Jul 1993

Two studies investigated two and four to five year olds' conversations to determine whether discussions about preferences differ from discussions about emotions and whether developmental differences exist in descriptions of affect. Found that children were more likely to discuss causes and consequences for emotions than for preferences. (MM)
