Young children's appraisals of others' spontaneous emotional reactions.

Abstract: Preschoolers were interviewed regarding their understanding of others 1 spontaneous emotional reactions. From 62 preschoolers in 3 age groups (3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds), 601 emotional reactions and 490 appraisals were obtained. The accuracy of children's appraisals (e.g., correspondence with adults' appraisals) varied with age and the type and intensity of emotion. Although children were most accurate in identifying others' positive emotions, they were least accurate in identifying their causes. Moreover, altho… Show more

“…However, note that our argument regarding negative social referencing information is not that children do not learn anything about the emoter, but that they in addition learn something about the stimulus itself, which they might then generalize to others. also Brown, Donelan-McCall, & Dunn, 1996;Dunn & Brown, 1993;Fabes, Eisenberg, Nyman, & Michaelieu, 1991;Laible & Thompson, 2002;Taumoepeau & Ruffman, 2006;Trabasso, Stein, & Johnson, 1981). Overall, then, researchers have proposed important developmental roles that a negativity bias in children's talk and memories might play as children learn to regulate and understand their powerful negative feelings and recollections.…”

“…Estas são emoções com uma mesma natureza negativa mas que diferem na sua complexidade. A tristeza é uma emoção básica, na qual o seu reconhecimento e compreensão surge na criança por volta dos 5 anos de idade (Fabes, Eisenberg, Nyman, & Michelieu, 1991). Pelo contrário, a culpa é uma emoção complexa que só mais tarde, por volta dos 8 anos, é reconhecida e compreendida (Amsel et al, 2003;Berti, Garattoni, & Venturini, 2000;Guttentag & Ferrell, 2004;Harris, Olthof, Terwogt, & HardMan, 1987;Nunner-Winkler & Sodian, 1988;Thompson, 1987).…”

“…Por volta dos cinco anos de idade, sabe-se que as crianças reconhecem não apenas a natureza de emoções básicas como a felicidade, tristeza, medo ou ira, como também o tipo de situações que as provocam (Fabes, Eisenberg, Nyman, & Michelieu, 1991). Sabe-se, também, que são capazes de compreender como a antecipação destas emoções pode afectar o comportamento (Denham & Couchoud, 1990;Strayer, 1986).…”

“…Y saben dar explicaciones de por qué sus compañeros están enfadados, tristes, aunque tienden a centrarse más en los hechos externos como causa de las emociones, que en las necesidades como motivos internos (Fabes, Eisenberg, Nyman y Michealieu, 1991).…”
