Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that 3- to 4-year-olds use the label "happy" to characterize positive emotions (such as joy, amusement, and pleasure) and "sad/angry" to characterize negative emotions (such as sadness, anger, and frustration). They may also use "scared" to label expressions of fear or anxiety. Therefore, option B is the best choice as it includes both "happy" and "sad/angry" as labels for positive and negative emotions, respectively.
