The Role of Emotionality and Regulation in Children's Social Functioning: A Longitudinal Study.

Eisenberg, Nancy; And Others

Child Development, v66 n5 p1360-84 Oct 1995

Examined multiple measures of 82 young children's emotionality, regulation, and social functioning over a 2-year period, finding that social functioning was predicted by low negative emotionality and high levels of regulation. Also found that vagal tone was positively related to competent social functioning and emotionality/regulation for boys, but inversely related for girls. (MDM)
