Comments:

  • Reviewed in Meta-study (COTTON)*

  • Compared kindergarten children with second graders in terms of their responses to slide stories of children in emotion-provoking situations. One finding: younger children's understanding of the story-children's emotions was improved if they were first encouraged to focus on their own emotional responses. (COTTON)*
