Abstract
•Infants’ temperament influences behaviors displayed during the still-face paradigm.•Only high negative infants showed sustained negativity during the reunion phase.•High and low negative infants did not differ in positivity or emotion regulation.•Individual differences in temperament dramatically affect the carry-over effect.
Five-month-old infants characterized as low or high on temperamental negativity participated with their mothers in the still-face paradigm. Compared to low negative infants, high negative infants displayed greater negative engagement during reunion suggesting that infant temperament significantly contributes to individual differences in the still-face effect.
