Document Summary

Preschoolers have short fuse for virtually every emotion in their repertoire. Neutral expressions > positive expressions > negative expressions. Complicated because the rules change from situation to situation and the rules in a given situation often change developmentally: children make significant progress in their understanding and use of display rules during the preschool years. Learn to distinguish between apparent emotions and emotion person actually feels. Learn to understand why someone might display an emotion that is different from the felt emotion: children have no control over what they feel can control how they express their emotions to others. Masking: process by which children alter the overt expression of emotions to conform to display rules.

Children also learn to display an emotion opposite to the one they feel = give false impression to parent/friend. Girls show a greater masking of negative emotion that boys.
