Socialization of Children's Vicarious Emotional Responding and Prosocial Behavior: Relations with Mothers' Perceptions of Children's Emotional Reactivity.

Fabes, Richard A.; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v30 n1 p44-55 Jan 1994

Mothers of 49 kindergartners and 54 second graders told their children 2 stories about distressed persons to obtain children's emotional, physiological, and prosocial responses. For kindergartners, mothers' perceptions of children's emotional reactivity were positively related to their use of positive facial expressions, whereas mothers' perceptions of second graders' emotional activity were inversely related to maternal responsiveness.
