The Origins of Young Children's Perceived Control: Mother Contingent and Sensitive Behavior.

Skinner, Ellen A. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 1986
Investigates the belief that caregivers' sensitive and contingent behavior is closely related to children's perceived control by analyzing the interactions between mothers and their 3 1/2- to 4 1/2-year-old children during a problem-solving task. (HOD)

Emotion Socialization and Expressive Development in Preterm and Full-Term Infants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Malatesta, Carol Zander; And Others – Child Development, 1986
Using a longitudinal design, investigates the interactive behaviors of mothers of normal infants and mothers of infants who are known to differ on a host of cognitive, behavioral, and biological parameters. Examines the developmental course of emotional expressivity in these infants. (HOD)

The Influence of Attachment Pattern on Developmental Changes in Peer Interaction from the Toddler to the Preschool Period.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Jacobson, Joseph L.; Wille, Diane E. – Child Development, 1986
Investigates the influence of infant-mother attachment patterns on the development of peer interaction between the toddler and preschool periods.
