| Abstract | This study was designed to determine whether children's judgments of another's emotional state are based on egocentric or perspectivistic reasoning processes. A total of 91 children, between the ages of 3 and 10, at three grade levels, were shown a series of photographs containing conflicting situational and expressive cues to the pictured child's emotional state. The children between 3 and 7 years of age based 96 percent of their judgments on the expressive cues, while the correspondence between expressive cues and judgments decreased to 86 percent for the 9- to 10-year-olds. The subjects' own emotional responses to the photographs appeared to be independent from their judgments. It is argued that these results support the conclusion that children as young as 3 years of age judge the emotional states of others on the basis of perspectivistic reasoning processes, and that the development of social reasoning proceeds along a continuum from simple to more complex reasoning processes.
