Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that infants as young as 6 months old can distinguish between happy and sad emotions in others. As they get older, around 2-3 years old, they become better at recognizing and labeling different emotions, including anger and fear. Self-conscious emotions such as embarrassment and shame typically develop around age 4-6. Therefore, the chronological order would be happiness, sadness, anger/fear, and then self-conscious emotions. Choice C is the only option that reflects this order.
