Abstract
Expressions of guilt were examined in 87 children, 5-9 years old, in a psychiatric interview and in an semiprojective procedure using vignettes to elicit children's narratives about interpersonal conflict and distress. Guilt is considered in relation to other dimensions of affect, theories of moral development, patterns of adaptation and maladaptation, and processes of social transmission of emotional problems
