Document Summary
Babies communicate a variety of their feelings through facial expressions, and that each expression becomes a more recognizable sign of a specific emotion with age (positive emotions are easier to distinguish) Basic emotions: the set of emotions present at birth or emerging early in the first year that some theorists believe to be biologically programmed; anger, sadness, joy, surprise. Complex emotions: self-conscious or self-evaluative emotions that emerge in the second year and depend, in part, on cognitive development; embarrassment(believed to not emerge until a baby can recognize herself in a mirror), shame, envy, pride. Later developing emotions are truly complex and have different implications for. Parents influence a child"s experience and expression of self-evaluative. How parents react to transgressions may determine which emotion children feel, the child"s behaviour emotions(shame, guilt, pride) guilty or shameful. Emotional display set: culturally defined rules specifying which emotions should or should not be expressed under which circumstances.
