Strayer, Janet

Developmental Psychology, v22 n5 p649-54 Sep 1986

Investigates children's person-by-situation knowledge of probable causes of emotion in self and in others, and compares this to adults' construals. Shows that children can generate contextual explanations for affective states in self and others that are both shared by other children and adults and selectively related to different kinds of affective experience.
