Children's Understanding of Verbal and Facial Display Rules

Gnepp, Jackie; Hess, Debra L. R.

Developmental Psychology, v22 n1 p103-08 Jan 1986

First-, third-, fifth-, and tenth-grade children listened to eight stories designed to elicit prosocial or self-protective display rules. Children predicted protagonists' verbal and facial expressions to emotion-laden situations. Findings indicated knowledge of control of emotional displays increases between first and fifth grades, but then levels off. (Author/BB)
