Infants' Responses to Frustrating Situations: Continuity and Change in Reactivity and Regulation.

Braungart-Rieker, Julia M.; Stifter, Cynthia A.

Child Development, v67 n4 p1767-79 Aug 1996

Examined continuity, stability, and change in behaviors reflecting infant reactivity and regulation. Subjects were 100 infants of 5 and 10 months old. Found that infant behaviors during frustrating situations showed both change and continuity, but the relationship between reactivity and regulation changed in that both factors became more independent over time.
