Our method in this book has been to examine social referencing in infancy within the context of a diversified and multifaceted framework, in order to see what can be learned by looking at this phenomenon from different perspectives. At this point, it seems appropriate to ask what we have discovered about referencing through this approach, and what we can suggest as to future directions in research and conceptualization. What can we say that sheds new light upon this process in which the infant (the referer) used another person's (the referee) interpretation of an event (the referent) to make sense of that event? This chapter aims to highlight, and present in an integrated manner, the major issues that have been raised and the suggestions for future research which have been made in the chapters of this volume.
