Through the Looking Glass: Temperament and Emotion as Separate and Interwoven Constructs

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Handbook of Emotional Development

Abstract

The current chapter reviews the theoretical and empirical forces that have shaped the study of emotional development from the perspective of temperament research. Despite variations in the theoretical perspective used to approach the link between temperament and emotion, the necessary limits in available methodologies have drawn the literature to a fairly close empirical consensus. To organize the discussion, the chapter examines four factors that have both led empirical research and have colored subsequent theoretical interpretations: Person, Context, Time, and Experience. Assessing permutations in each of the factors can help the field better understand the complex patterns of emotion development that reflect, and are embedded in, variations in temperament over time. The systematic inclusion of individual differences in each of the four factors also moves the field away from the difficult task of trying to capture the elusive “average child.” This strategy may improve our understanding of temperament and emotion development and advance our overarching goal of improving the robustness of our science.
