- Short description of contents:
- The aim was to investigate how children conceptualize personal events of positive and negative valences pertaining to
the physical and psychological domains. Five- to 9-year-olds narrated events referring to suffering states (Study 1, n¼112) and to
suffering and wellbeing states (Study 2, n¼118). Analysis of the narratives revealed differences between the two states, with
higher focus on events pertaining to a physical domain for suffering and to psychological domain for wellbeing; however, older
children were more oriented toward psychological than physical events for both valences. Children showed higher tendency to
produce causes compared to consequences, with younger children finding it difficult to introduce physical causes. Psychological
suffering narratives revealed a richer psychological lexicon and more instances of domain coexistence. Asymmetry in the
representation of different state valences and domains indicates multifaceted and developing conceptualization.
