1-083 - A Basic and Applied Understanding of the Bidirectional Links Between Parents’ Emotions and Child Well-being
Thu, March 21, 12:30 to 2:00pm, Baltimore Convention Center, Floor: Level 3, Room 339Session Type: Paper Symposium
Integrative Statement
A large body of research suggests that parents’ emotion and behavior (e.g., sensitivity) can guard against negative outcomes in children, such as psychopathology and emotion dysregulation (De Wolff & van IJzendoorn, 1997; Loman & Gunnar, 2010). Fewer studies have moved beyond understanding these simple associations toward a fine-grained analysis of the nuanced links between parents’ emotion, behavior, and child outcomes; a step necessary to inform developmental models and interventions.
In this symposium, researchers from three countries build upon testing simple associations, to deconstruct diverse manifestations of parental factors, measured at different points throughout development, in the prediction of child outcomes. Presenter 1 will discuss findings exploring how dyadic couple relationship factors associated with emotion co-regulation (physiological synchrony) as measured during pregnancy predict parents’ and infants’ postnatal functioning up to two years later. Presenter 2 will discuss the results of a study testing the linear and curvilinear associations between parenting stress and school-aged children’s adjustment. Presentation 3 will describe findings from a study using ecological momentary assessments to investigate the association between parental overcontrol and adolescents’ emotion regulation. Finally, Presentation 4 will move from basic to applied science, describing the impacts of a brief, culturally sensitive parenting intervention in the enhancement of parental reflective functioning and emotion among Latino/a mothers and fathers of children under the age of three. Implications will be discussed regarding parenting interventions to promote child well-being. Together, these papers will provide a well-rounded view of the bidirectional associations between parents’ emotions and children’s well-being across varied contexts.
