The Relations of Emotionality and Regulation to Children's Anger-Related Reactions.

Eisenberg, Nancy; And Others

Child Development, v65 n1 p109-28 Feb 1994

Examined the relations of emotionality and regulation to preschoolers' naturally occurring anger reactions through observations of behavior. Children's use of verbal objections to anger situations were positively related to constructive coping and attentional control, particularly for boys, and negatively related to girls' anger intensity, particularly for girls.
