Forty-seven children tested at age three on their understanding of basic emotions were tested again at age six on their understanding of conflicting emotions. Found that antecedents to emotion understanding at age three continued to be significantly related to children's understanding at six, including participation in discourse about causality, positive interaction with older siblings, and language ability.
