Note: Children reported whether they experienced each emotion in response to each conflict vignette, thus children may have reported experiencing more than one emotion in response to a given conflict. Frequencies reflect a categorical depiction of the number of children responding affirmatively to the experience of each emotion (responses of 1 or greater on the likert scale), whereas emotion intensity reflects the degree to which children felt a given emotion (ranging from 0-5) for all 207 participating children.
