1-148 - Parent-Child Communication about Emotion and the Self

Thu, April 6, 2:00 to 3:30pm, Hilton Austin, Meeting Room 417A

Session Type: Paper Session

Integrative Statement

How do children and youth come to understand their emotional experiences and the self? These papers contribute to growing understanding that patterns of parent-child discourse socialize these aspects of self-awareness but are also the result of sociocultural processes that guide parents' constructions of emotion and the self. The studies profiled in this session, involving samples ranging from infancy to adolescence, illustrate the socially constructive processes contributing to emotion understanding and self-awareness and how parents' experiences -- both positive and negative -- shape those beliefs.
