Abstract
Through the detailed examination of interaction this chapter shows connections between forms of child distress and the types of sequence in which they occur. Where the child makes a request, for example, distress can arise in various ways: sometimes when the request is turned down, but also when the parent attempts to go along with the request. Distinctive and extreme forms of distress occur in the latter situation, and analysis reveals how immediately prior agreements form a basis for the child to treat the parental response as egregious. Comparison with incidents of distress in autism suggests a lesser role for local, prior agreements and a greater one for script-like, generic expectations. These observations suggest that the primary units of analysis in the study of emotional displays in typically developing children should be the interactional nexuses which generate them, and that distinctive forms of developmental analysis are implicated.
