  • Parental Reactions to Children’s Negative Emotions in France and the United States

    Open AccessK Li, Candida Höfer et al.ARTICLESocial Sciences2024References: 7

    Parental reactions to children’s negative emotions (PRCNEs), a type of emotion socialization, has been theorized to shape children’s socioemotional development. Few studies have examined cultural variations in PRCNE among Western/Minority World cultures. The present study used a cross-cultural, preschool-based sample of 101 parent–child dyads (child age = 36–79 months, 42% females; parent age = 19–58 years, 89% mothers) from two countries: U.S. (…

  • Links between Parent-Child Emotion Talk and Preschoolers’ Socioemotional Behaviors in Chinese-Heritage Families

    Megan Chan, Aya Williams et al.ARTICLEEarly Education and Development2023

    Research Findings: Emotion talk (ET) is an emotion socialization practice theorized to promote children’s socioemotional competence. The present study examined parent and child ET in two subgroups of Chinese-heritage families in low-income communities: Chinese immigrant families in U.S. (CA) and Taiwanese families in Taiwan (TW). In a sample of 75 children (age = 3.2 to 7.4 years, 55% girls, 37 TW and 38 CA) and their parents (99% mothers), paren…

  • Dynamic associations between emotion expressions and strategy use in Chinese American and Mexican American preschoolers

    Open AccessYeunjoo Kim, Aya Williams et al.ARTICLEEmotion2022

    Previous studies of emotion regulation in young children commonly used between-person approaches, which limit our understanding of dynamic and temporal relations between emotion expressions and strategy use. Further, previous work has mainly focused on temperamental reactivity among White children, and it is unclear whether these findings can generalize to children of Asian and Latinx origins. In the current study, we examined the within-person t…

  • Assessing the hierarchy of personal values among adolescents

    Open AccessYudai Iijima, Yasuyuki Okumura et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2020

    INTRODUCTION: For assessing personal values, the rating scale method may not adequately reflect the hierarchical structure of personal values and tends to be influenced by response style bias. The paired comparison method is considered a promising alternative approach, because it engages comparative judgment and may reduce response style biases. The present study aimed to compare these two methods for assessing the hierarchy of personal values am…

  • Why do bilinguals code-switch when emotional? Insights from immigrant parent–child interactions

    Open AccessAya Williams, Mahesh Srinivasan et al.ARTICLEEmotion2019

    Previous research has found that bilingual speakers' first (L1) and second languages (L2) are differentially associated with their emotional experiences. Moreover, bilinguals appear to code-switch (alternate between two or more languages in a single conversation) during emotional episodes. However, prior evidence has been limited to clinical case studies and self-report studies, leaving open the specificity of the link between code-switching (CS)…
