Infant Emotional Mimicry of Strangers_Database.sav

One hundred and seventeen parent-infant dyads (51 six-month-olds, 66 twelve-month-olds) were observed during dynamic video presentation of strangers’ happy, sad, angry, and fearful faces. Infant and parent emotional mimicry (i.e., facial expressions valence-congruent to the video) and their mutual attention (i.e., simultaneous gaze at one another) were systematically coded second-by-second. Parent empathy was assessed via self-report. <br>
