“…The majority of prior research regarding emotional dialogues focused on early childhood (e.g., Fivush, Haden, & Reese, 2006;Koren-Karie et al, 2003), and indicated that the co-construction of conversations about emotional experiences help children learn how to process emotional experiences, share them with others, and cope with similar socioemotional situations (Fivush, Berlin, McDermott-Sales, Menuti-Washburn, & Cassidy, 2003;Koren-Karie et al, 2003). Our study joins the relatively few works on parent-child emotional dialogues in adolescence (e.g., Bohanek et al, 2008;Koren-Karie, Oppenheim, Yuval-Adler, & Mor, 2013;McLean & Jennings, 2012;McLean & Mansfield, 2012). Together, this line of research suggests that daily conversations with parents about emotional experiences are an arena in which an intergenerational transmission of information processing rules and regulation of emotional experiences occurs.…”
