Infant Positive and Negative Emotionality: One Dimension or Two?
Belsky, Jay; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v32 n2 p289-98 Mar 1996
To determine whether 1 or 2 dimensions of infant emotionality best characterized infant functioning, parental reports (10 months) and elicited emotion (12-13 months) were examined. Found that early positivity (12-13 months) predicted later positivity (18-20 months) better than later negativity, with the reverse being true of early negativity. (Author/DR)
