Family Talk about Feeling States and Children's Later Understanding of Others' Emotions.

Dunn, Judy; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v27 n3 p448-55 May 1991

Examined the relation between three-year-olds' conversations about feeling states and their ability to recognize emotions at six years. Differences in discourse about feelings were correlated with later ability to recognize emotions. Associations were independent of children's verbal ability and the frequency of talk in the families.
