Discrete/Basic View of Emotions
This theoretical approach draws from the evolutionary perspective of Darwin (1872, 2009) and the James-Lange theory of emotion (Cannon, 1927; Lang, 1994) and includes both biological and social determinants of emotional development. It contends that humans are endowed with the capacity for a basic set of universal emotions that evolved as humans adapted to the circumstances of their lives. The emotions are basic in the sense that all humans are prepared to experience and express them (althoug...
Discrete/Basic Emotion Perspective on Emotional Development
Only Izard developed a formal emotional development theory based on the premise of biologically based capacity for discrete emotions early in life (Izard, 1971, 1977). Izard, who first studied emotion expression in adults, later studied infants, which informed his theory of emotional development (Cole & Moore, 2015). Izard posited ten basic emotion systems, each of which is unique in how it motivates action and is experienced. He defined an emotion as a specific pattern of neural activity sen...
Our informal poll of this volume’s chapter authors revealed that most consider the functionalist perspective on emotional development guides their thinking to some degree. Given its importance to contemporary research on emotional development, we first summarize the functionalist view of emotions and then discuss its application to emotional develo...
Sroufe (1996) offered a theory of emotional development that focused not only on when emotions appear in childhood but also how they develop. He contended that emotional development is an orderly process and that the developmental order should be parallel for the three major affect systems he posited. He further noted that emotional development is ...
There has been a historical distinction between cognition and emotion in psychology (James, 1890), a distinction that can be more pronounced in the developmental literature (especially in infancy). Although a comprehensive review of this literature is beyond the scope of the current review (see Chap. 16), however, we address a few key points here. ...

Abstract. In this chapter, we review several theories of emotional development. For each, we address definitions and basic tenets, we ask what “develops” and how emotions change with age. What is particularly noteworthy is that although there are several emotional development theories, none ascribes to a single emotion theory.
