How might what we see during one stressful task differ from everyday regulation?
This study links observed distress, physiological responses and caregiving across two developmental stages.
Who was studied?
Infants assessed in a still-face procedure and followed into toddlerhood
Age / stage: Infancy to toddlerhood
Read with three questions
- How might what we see during one stressful task differ from everyday regulation?
- What was measured at each observation, and what other influences might account for the link?
- Which features of the study population (infants assessed in a still-face procedure and followed into toddlerhood) would matter when applying the findings in another setting?
Keep the limits in view
The still-face task is a structured, time-limited challenge. Responses measured in that setting do not describe everything about an infant's or toddler's ordinary emotional regulation.
