Abstract
In a task eliciting negative affectivity, children used regulatory behaviors such as gaze aversion and self-soothing when negative affectivity was captured and vice versa. Positive affectivity was also displayed to regulate their emotion. Fidgeting and language use followed positive affectivity and fidgeting, but not the language use, predicted positive affectivity.
