Abstract: The consistency in infant positive and negative emotions between laboratory observation and maternal-report method was investigated in 203 6-month old infants.Positive and negative emotions coded were observed in three different scenes (positive,negative and neutral).The positive and negative emotions observed in positive context were significantly correlated with maternal-reported positive emotion.Maternal depression can predict the difference in negative emotion between the two methods.The gender of children can moderate the parenting stress and the consistency in positive emotion between the two methods.

Key words: maternal-report, laboratory observation, positive emotion, negative emotion
