The Relations of Maternal Practices and Characteristics to Children's Vicarious Emotional Responsiveness.

Eisenberg, Nancy; And Others

Child Development, v63 n3 p583-602 Jun 1992

Maternal distress was associated with children's distress, but maternal sympathy was associated only with girls' sympathy. (BC)
