Investigated
contributions to individual differences in preschoolers' identification
of basic emotional expressions and situations, emotion language,
and self-generated causes for basic emotions. The contribution of
socialization predictors to emotion understanding was moderated
by gender only for negative emotional responsiveness, and children
with the lowest emotion understanding scores had mothers who showed
more anger. (WP)
