“…Although the transition away from ''behavioral'' theories of emotion is not so simple in that younger children appear to have at least a limited ''mentalistic'' conception of emotion (e.g., Camras & Allison, 1989;Denham & Zoller, 1991;Gnepp, 1989;Harris & Saarni, 1989;Harter & Whitesell, 1989;Hughes & Dunn, 1998), the general developmental shift from a focus on situational variables to an emphasis on internal variables is well supported in the literature (e.g., DeConti & Dickerson, 1994;Harris, 1993;Thompson, 1987;Weiner & Graham, 1984). As children grow, their emotional inferences contain a more complex and differentiated use of several types of information, such as moral variables (e.g., Barden, Zelko, Duncan, & Masters, 1980;Nunner-Winkler & Sodian, 1988), historical facts/ personal information (e.g., Gnepp, 1983Gnepp, , 1989, display rule use (Cole, 1986;Garner, 1996;Saarni, 1979), relevance of different themes across developmental periods (Strayer, 1986), relational and contextual factors (e.g., who is present; e.g., Covell & Abramovitch, 1987), and the target child's goals or beliefs (e.g., Harris, 1994;Harris, Donnelly, Guz, & Pitt-Watson, 1986;Wiggers & Van Lieshout, 1985). This development appears to be somewhat slower for complex emotions like pride, shame, or embarrassment (e.g., Harter & Whitesell, 1989;Lewis, 1993aLewis, , 1993bSeidner, Stipek, & Feshbach, 1988;Stipek & DeCotis, 1988).…”

This paper considers the role of emotion regulation (i.e., extrinsic and intrinsic monitoring and adjusting of emotion) and emotion understanding (i.e., comprehension of the signs of, causes of, and ways to regulate emotion) in childhood adjustment. Developmental and clinical research focused on emotion regulation and emotion understanding are reviewed with an emphasis on studies including psychopathological samples. The implications of emotion research for the study of child psychopathology and child therapy are examined. D

“…Other social factors, including social normative patterns and display rules, have demonstrable effects on pain expression (Gnepp & Hess, 1986). For example, in a critically important study, Kleck et al (1976) studied the effects of observation by another on response to painful stimulation.…”

We present a detailed framework for understanding the numerous and complicated interactions among psychological and social determinants of pain through examination of the process of pain communication. The focus is on an improved understanding of immediate dyadic transactions during painful events in the context of broader social phenomena. Fine-grain consideration of social transactions during pain leads to an appreciation of sociobehavioral events affecting both suffering persons as well as caregivers. Our examination considers knowledge from a variety of perspectives, including clinical health psychology, social and developmental processes, evolutionary psychology, communication studies, and behavioral neuroscience.

“…Each culture has specific rules, called display rules, which dictate what is appropriate to express (Diefendorff & Greguras, 2009;Fok et al, 2008;Saarni, 1979;Safdar et al, 2009). These rules consist of two subsets: normative masking and emotion dialects.…”

Synthesizing knowledge from psychology and marketing research, an understanding of nonverbal communication can help address when and how customers express their underlying feelings in retail interactions that are not evident in direct verbal expressions. Examining nonverbal behavior as an indirect measure of consumer response can enable retailers to better understand the needs of their customers. Nonverbal communication theory is used to develop a conceptual framework that builds on prior research on the situation, expressivity, social status, display rules, and their effects on customer expression. Lay wisdom suggests that customer expression should be revealing (e.g., "the eyes are the windows to the soul"). However, research reveals a myriad of situational factors that may lead customers to mask their true feelings. This paper offers nine theoretical propositions and summarizes research evidence related to these pro-positions from various substantive domains for marketing research.
