Young Children's Understanding of Other People's Feelings and Beliefs: Individual Differences and Their Antecedents.

Dunn, Judy; And Others

Child Development, v62 n6 p1352-66 Dec 1991

A total of 50 children were observed at home at 33 months of age and then tested at 40 months on affective labeling, perspective taking, and false belief tasks. Individual differences at 40 months were associated with family discourse about feelings and causality at 33 months, verbal fluency of mother and child, and sibling cooperation. (BC)
