Priming of Perceived Control in Young Children as a Buffer against Fear-Inducing Events.
Cortez, Victoria L.; Bugental, Daphne Blunt
Child Development, v66 n3 p687-96 Jun 1995
Young children watched videotaped fairy tales that involved child or adult control over frightening events. Subsequently, they watched a videotape of a child having a medical exam. Children who had watched the child control fairy tales showed an enhancement, whereas children who had watched the adult control fairy tales showed a deficit, in processing information about the exam videotape.
