ABSTRACT
The speakers and the Institute of Child Development faculty who participated in the 1978 Symposium helped consolidate several trends and highlight various issues in the study of emotions in human development. The observations that will be discussed here represent the interactions of the new knowledge provided by the speakers, questioners, and commentators, and the concepts and feelings (affective-cognitive structures) that I brought with me. The issues range from the earthy matter of getting wider agreement on the names of the things we are studying to measurement problems brought about in part by the currently inadequate differentiation of different levels or classes of emotion concepts.
