The principal aims of this project are to (1) delineate the developmental course of patterns of emotion expressions in affectively positive and negative mother/infant interactions and to assess the relationship of these emotion expression variables to measures of personality/temperament traits, (2) determine the ontogeny of the infant's ability to discriminate or respond differentially to the mother's expressions of joy, anger, and sadness, (3) examine the infant's ability to imitate, learn or perform cognitive/psychomotor tasks following mother/infant interactions characterized by mother's expressions of interest/joy, anger, and sadness, (4) study the developmental changes in selected physiological concomitants of infant emotion expressions in interactions characterized by mother's expressions of joy, sadness, and anger, and (5) evaluate early emotion expression variables, cognitive/psychomotor performance measures (obtained during positive and negative emotion conditions), and patterns of physiological responses as predictors of social, emotional, and cognitive competence in later years. Emotion expressions are measured by Izard's facial movement coding and affect identification systems (Max and Affex), cognitive capacities by measures adapted from Kagan (1978) and Uzgiris and Hunt (1975), infant temperament by Rothbart's Infant Behavior Questionnaire, Mothers Personality by Jackson Personality Research Form, Quality of Attachment by Ainsworth's system and later competence by methods developed by Block and Block, Sroufe, and others. The proposed research will attempt to reaffirm and extend our previous findings on the stability and significance of early emotion expression variables. The distinctly new themes of the present proposal include developmental changes in response to mother's sadness and anger expressions, the ontogeny of discrimination of these two important negative emotions in dynamic mother/infant interactions, the effects of mild stress (sadness/anger emotion expressions) on infant's cognitive/psychomotor functioning, the psychophysiology of infant's emotion expressions, and the analysis of infant's physiological responses during positive and negative mother/infant interactions, and the use of stress-related performance measures and patterns of physiological responses in the prediction of later competence. Evidence for the effectiveness of infant emotion variables in predicting later competence will have significant implications for the early detection and prevention of mental health problems.

这个项目的主要目的是(1)勾勒出发展的 情感积极型和情绪型情绪表达方式的演变 母婴之间的负面相互作用以及评估它们之间的关系 情绪表达变量对人格/气质特征的测量， (2)确定婴儿辨别或判断的个体发育 对母亲喜悦、愤怒和 悲伤，(3)检查婴儿的模仿、学习或表演能力 母婴互动后的认知/精神运动任务 以母亲的兴趣/喜悦、愤怒和悲伤为特征， (4)研究选定的生理伴随的发育变化 婴儿情绪表达在互动中的特点是母亲 喜悦的表情、悲伤和愤怒，以及(5)评估早期情绪 表情变量、认知/精神运动表现测量(获得 在积极和消极情绪状态期间)，以及 生理反应作为社交、情感和认知的预测因子 晚年的能力。情绪表达是用Izard的 面部运动编码和影响识别系统(MAX和Affex)， 根据Kagan(1978)和UzGiris的测量方法得出的认知能力 亨特(1975)，从罗斯巴特的婴儿行为看婴儿的气质 调查问卷，母亲人格杰克逊人格研究表， 安斯沃思系统的依恋质量和方法的后期能力 由Block and Block、Sroufe和其他公司开发。拟议的研究 将试图重申和扩展我们之前关于稳定性的发现 以及早期情绪表达变量的显著性。全新的 本提案的主题包括应对以下方面的发展变化 母亲悲伤和愤怒的表情，歧视的个体发生 这两种重要的负面情绪在充满活力的母婴中 相互作用，轻微压力的影响(悲伤/愤怒情绪 表情)对婴儿认知/精神运动功能的影响 婴幼儿情绪表达的心理生理学及其影响因素分析 母婴积极和消极状态下婴儿的生理反应 相互作用，以及使用与压力相关的绩效衡量标准和 生理反应模式在预测未来能力中的作用。 婴儿情绪变量在预测中有效性的证据 较晚的能力将对早期发现产生重大影响 和预防心理健康问题。
