Conte, Stefania; Brenna, Viola; Ricciardelli, Paola; Turati, Chiara – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2018
A large body of research has investigated both the emotional elaboration of facial stimuli in adults and the development of children's recognition of emotional expressions.

Examined perceptions of personal control in 1,267 individuals in 4 generations of families participating in multiple cohort, longitudinal study spanning 1971-91. Over 20 years, mean levels of personal control became more internal among 560 individuals who participated in all measurements, probably reflecting environmental factors. Found…

Describes a model of adaptation to the environment across the life span. Proposes that an individual's performance in an activity is affected not only by cognitive capacity but also by perceptions and definitions of the activity. Empirical support for the model, based on a survey of individuals' everyday experiences and on laboratory studies, is…
