Responses of Six-Month-Olds to the Distress of Their Peers.

Hay, Dale F.; And Others

Child Development, v52 n3 p1071-75 Sep 1981

The distressed vocalizations of six-month-old infants interacting with peers in a playroom were statistically independent of the peer's vocalizations of distress. Absence of toys reliably predicted the extent of the infant's distress, whereas psychomotor development and sex did not. (Author/ DB)
