The problem of how emotions develop and are nurtured is one of the most important in child psychology and pedagogy. Nevertheless, this problem is still thought to have been insufficiently studied, and many questions surrounding the emergence of emotions, the laws governing their ontogenetic development, and their structure and function in child behavior have yet to be clearly answered. This has prompted the authors represented in this volume to undertake systematic experimental research into children's emotional processes at the age when human feelings are just beginning to form and when their origins can be most precisely discovered.
