This doctoral dissertation had the following purposes: (I) to propose an approach to the study of smile that integrates a historical, socio-cultural and evolutionary, and biological dimmension; (II) to carry out two empirical studies, the first one longitudinal, reaching from the third week to the sixth life s month of two babies, and the second one, a transversal studie, at the first, the second and the fifth months of life, with the proposition of: (II.1) to investigate any eventual standard of smile exibition in terms of frequency, duration and morfological characteristics, and any possible transformation in this standard during the first six months of life; (II.2) to analyze the smile standards observed in the presence of mother s affective behaviors during the first six months of life; and (II.3) to verify if the babies can answer contingently, with smiles, to the mother s affectives behaviors, and also if there are specific standards for each kind of smile. Two mothers and their babies participated in the longitudinal study and were videotaped at home. Twenty mothers and their babies participated, for each of the three groups of different ages in the transversal study, and were videotaped at home. The observation categories in these two studies are codified in two parts. The first part had mutually exclusive and exhaustive behaviors (baby s smiles). The Cohen´s Kappa and the agreement indexes indicated good reliability inter observers. Among the evidences, it was verified a incrising curve trajetorial tendency for the babies s smiles in the period studied, F(1,22) = 6,77, p<0,05 for the first baby, and F(1,23) = 7,85, p<0,05 for the second one, both of them in the longitudinal study context. The two babies have revealed a particular tendency to frequentely display one or two kinds of smile. Babies also answered contingently with smiles to mother´s affective behaviors in the two studies. In the longitudinal resourch, correlations between the more frequent kinds of the babies´ smiles and his mothers smiles were verified (r=0,77, p<0,0017 for one baby, and r=0,62, p<0,0017 for the other). In the transversal research, correlations between the simple smile and the mother´s smile were verified (r=0,70, p<0,0007). Differents kinds of smiles have been exibited from the babies, in the both studies, longitudinal and transversal, as contigencial anwers to the mothers´ observed behaviors. This and others results sinalize to an association between the babies smile and his mothers affective behaviors. The relevance of investigating babies´smile contrats with the lack of Brazilian studies on this theme. This dissertation intended to contributeas an effort to supply this gap.
