Social referencing research

Robert N. Emde

pp. 79-94

This chapter considers the prospects of social referencing research as we move from experimental to more naturalistic and clinical settings. Five topics of theoretical importance are highlighted. These include (1) fundamental strategic issues, (2) early self-development, (3) early moral development, (4) emotional availability and its development, and (5) individual differences and psychopathology.
