Document Summary
Chapter 12: displaying emotions: the development (and control) of emotional expressions. Easier to tell infant positive emotions than negative emotions. 2-7 months: basic emotions (biologically programmed) of anger, sadness, joy, surprise, and fear. 2 years: complex emotions (depend on cognitive development) of embarrassment, shame, guilt, envy, and pride; develop after children achieve self-recognition and self-evaluation. Elementary school: experience more complex emotions in more routine environments and in the absence of external evaluation. Puberty: sometimes experience general negative trend in everyday mood. Emotional self-regulation: strategies for managing emotions or adjusting emotional arousal to an appropriate level of intensity: begins by the end of the first year, develops very slowly. Toddlers move gradually from being dependent on others to regulate their emotions to being able to regulate emotions on their own. Elementary school children gradually become able to comply with culturally defined emotional display rules: recognizing and interpreting emotions.
