Children's Sensitivity to Social Contexts at 18 Months of Age

Fein, Greta G.

Developmental Psychology, 11, 6, 853-854, Nov 75

This study examined the stranger reactions of 18-month-old children in three types of mother/stranger social contexts: (1) no interaction, (2) conversation only, or (3) playing cards. The results showed differential responding by condition, suggesting that 18-month-olds are sensitive to the background context of social encounters.
