Social-Contextual Influences on Expectancies for Managing Anger and Sadness: The Transition from Middle Childhood to Adolescence.

Zeman, Janice; Shipman, Kimberly

Developmental Psychology, v33 n6 p917-24 Nov 1997

Examined the influence of emotion, audience, gender, and age on fifth, eighth, and eleventh graders' reported emotion management, emotional self-efficacy, and expectancies. Found that eighth graders regulated emotion most and expected the least maternal support. Children expressed greater self-efficacy and regulation for sadness than for anger. Boys dissembled emotion and expected negative responses to emotional behavior more than girls. (Author/KB)
