Discuss how emotion regulation is studied in infants and children. What information supplied
by the infant would be considered important sources of data?
What will be an ideal response?
Emotion regulation is studied much like the study of discrete infant emotions, that is,
the researcher may ask the infant's mother to leave the room and then return to elicit
both positive and negative emotions. After emotional elicitation, the infant's facial
expressions, vocalizations, and body movements are assessed. The researcher may then
monitor the rise of emotions, the total time period of the emotional response, and the
time it takes the infant to return to their baseline emotional response.
