Affect and Attention: Infants Observed with Mothers and Peers

Abstract

ADAMSON, LAUREN B., and BAKEMAN, ROGER. Affect and Attention: Infants Observed with Mothers and Peers. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1985, 56, 582-593. This study documents the rate, mean duration, and mode of infants' affective displays. Using a cross-sequential design, infants were observed in their homes from 6 to 18 months playing with their mothers, with peers, and alone. Affect rates were higher with mothers than peers. With increasing age, affect rates as well as the vocal mode increased, while mean durations and facial and motoric modes decreased. Affect was most likely when infants were engaged with mothers or peers in person play. It also occurred often when infants first became engaged with the same object their partner was manipulating; with mothers (but not peers) affect continued to be expressed throughout these periods of shared object play. Rates were elevated when mothers moved objects repetitively. Discussion focuses on how infants' earlierdeveloping affective communication skills may continue to be used as they begin to explore the world of objects and on how adults may support this integration of expressive and referential communication.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
