Mothers' Judgment in Moments of Anger.

Dix, Theodore; And Others

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v36 n4 p465-86 Oct 1990

The influence of anger on mothers' judgments of children and socialization was examined in a 5-week study of 48 mothers of 6- to 8-year-old children. Findings provided evidence that angry mothers expect their children to act more negatively, thereby supporting the proposal that anger may negatively bias parents' reactions. (SH)
