What is social referencing in child development?

Definition Social referencing refers to the process wherein infants use the affective displays of an adult to regulate their behaviors toward environmental objects, persons, and situations. Social referencing represents one of the major mecha- nisms by which infants come to understand the world around them.

How do infants express their emotions?

Babies express their emotions through their posture, voice and facial expressions from birth. These attitudes help their carers adapt their behaviour to the baby's emotional state. A baby's tears, for example, may be an expression of his or her distress and primary needs (to be fed or changed or to lie down).

How do babies use social referencing to guide their actions and gather information about the emotions of others?

Social referencing is when infants read facial expressions to help them make decisions. Social referencing starts between eight and ten months of age, while infants use visual information obtained from their parents' or caregivers' faces to help them understand different situations.

What occurs when the caregiver and the infant focus on the same object or event?

Joint attention: Situations in which caregivers and infants and toddlers share the same focus and interest on an object or topic are referred to as episodes of joint attention.
