- "The present study is an attempt to learn more about the social and emotional development of children through an investigation of their laughing and crying. These forms of behavior lend themselves particularly well to scientific study because they are easily definable, can be readily observed, and occur in the repertoire of most preschool children's daily activities. The material as analyzed gives a wealth of information regarding preschool children. An interesting finding is the relative infrequency with which both laughing and crying occur. These 29 children between the ages of 18 and 48 months laughed during only 6.7% and cried during only 2.5% of the time they were observed. But as one might have expected there was less crying and decidedly more laughing as the children grew older. In one of the most interesting parts of her study, Dr. Brackett presents profiles of various individual children. These profiles give rather convincing evidence of the relation of laughing and crying to personality patterns. There is evidence also, in some cases, that children's characteristics remain constant over a period of one year"--Foreword. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved).
