“…Emotion socialization denotes the processes by which children achieve emotional competence through social and emotional interactions with others (Grusec, 2011). During the past two decades, numerous studies have examined the association between parental emotion socialization and externalizing child behavior problems (Eisenberg, Cumberland & Spinrad, 1998;Gottman, Katz & Hooven, 1997;Johnson, Hawes, Eisenberg, Kohlhoff & Dudeney, 2017;Morris, Silk, Steinberg, Myers & Robinson, 2007), but no studies have replicated these findings in a Norwegian sample. Emotion understanding is typically described as an ability to understand one's own and other's emotions (Eisenberg et al, 1998), and is related to both externalizing and internalizing problems in children (Bender, Pons, Harris, Esbjørn & Reinholdt-Dunne, 2015;Southam-Gerow & Kendall, 2000, 2002Trentacosta & Fine, 2010).…”
