Gunnar (faculty mentor)Fearfulness is a significant factor in the development of young children. However, the extent to which a child anticipates being able to control or affect frightening/novel stimuli lessens the risk of fearful or freezing behaviors leading to future psychopathology (Buss, 2010). Institutional care provides children with few response-contingent experiences, thus we hypothesize that a longer, more physically and socially deprived environment will lead to the development of more passive behaviors.en-USCollege of Education and Human DevelopmentInstitute of Child DevelopmentPresentation
