Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v49 n1 p100-22 Jan 2003

This study examined the influence of expressive strategies, emotion type, social context, and gender on 144 elementary-school-age children's expectancies regarding interpersonal responses to their emotional expression. Findings indicated that children expected others to respond more positively to verbal and facial strategies than to aggressive strategies. Expectancies varied as a function of the emotion type, social context, age, and gender. (Author/KB)
