“…In line with the hypothesis proposed by Morris and colleagues (2007), the relationship between maternal ER difficulties and ER difficulties in offspring appears to be mediated by mothers' unsupportive ES (Briscoe et al, 2019;Buckholdt et al, 2014;Morelen et al, 2016). However, just as deficits in parental ER may contribute to unsupportive responses, it is also true that the presence of adaptive ER may prevent parents from engaging in unsupportive behaviours.…”

“…Unsupportive responses have also been linked to behavioural problems and psychopathology in children (Eisenberg et al, 2001;Sanders et al, 2015;Suveg et al, 2008) and adolescents (Katz et al, 2014;O'Neal & Magai, 2005;Shortt et al, 2016;Stocker et al, 2007). In contrast, supportive parental responses have been associated with better ER skills and constructive coping in children (Cole et al, 2009;Hurrell et al, 2015;Valiente et al, 2004) and adolescents (Criss et al, 2016), as well as lower levels of internalizing difficulties (Briscoe et al, 2019;Hastings et al, 2014). Thus, parents' responses to children's emotions have a strong influence on the trajectory of their emotional development.…”

Objectives: Adults with a history of childhood maltreatment report problems with emotion regulation (ER) and parenting, which can contribute to maladaptive outcomes in offspring. The following narrative review consists of a theoretical and empirical synthesis of the literature examining child maltreatment, emotion regulation, and parenting, with an emphasis on parental emotion socialization. Method: Building upon the literature contained in the review, we developed a novel conceptual model that elucidates some of the mechanisms involved in the intergenerational transmission of emotion dysregulation among mothers with a history of childhood maltreatment. Taking into account risk and protective factors (e.g., socio-economic status, polyvictimization, teenage motherhood, access to social supports), our conceptual model highlights both direct (e.g., social learning) and indirect (e.g., ER difficulties) mechanisms through which child maltreatment contributes to problems with parental emotion socialization and ER difficulties in the next generation. Implications: Directions for future research and implications for intervention will be discussed with an emphasis on preventing the continuity of maladaptive parenting by promoting the development of parents’ ER abilities in a trauma-informed, resilience-focused framework.

“…Furthermore, maternal reactivity was outside of the scope of this investigation but is an important area for future research. Although prior work has suggested that non‐supportive parenting practices may lead to later internalizing problems (Briscoe et al., 2019; Morris et al., 2017), this study did not specifically measure internalizing symptoms, and thus cannot disentangle associations between parenting practices, emotional reactivity, and internalizing problems. Future research is needed to extend the current findings to a clinical sample that can be followed longitudinally to determine if these relations could explain the development, maintenance, and recurrence of adolescent clinical anxiety and other internalizing problems.…”

“…For example, adolescents whose families demonstrate mutual emotional support and greater emotion coaching exhibit more adaptive regulation of anger and sadness (Criss, Morris, Ponce‐Garcia, Cui, & Silk, 2016). Others have found that supportive maternal responses to adolescent negative emotions are associated with decreased internalizing problems whereas punitive, non‐supportive maternal responses are associated with increased internalizing problems (Briscoe, Stack, Dickson, & Serbin, 2019). Furthermore, interventions designed to improve emotion‐related parenting practices have been shown to be successful in reducing anxiety symptoms in adolescents (Kehoe, Havighurst, & Harley, 2014).…”

Parental socialization of emotion consists of parental behaviors that scaffold child emotional reactivity and regulation. The current study examined whether adolescents’ perceptions of their mothers’ supportive versus non‐supportive responses to negative emotions could predict adolescent emotional reactivity. Thirty adolescent girls (Mage = 14.41 [1.55]) reported on how their mothers typically respond to their negative emotions and then completed a laboratory‐based mother–adolescent interaction task. A multi‐modal assessment of adolescent emotional reactivity during the interaction included adolescents’ skin conductance levels (SCLs) and state anxiety, and mother–daughter interactions were behaviorally coded to assess how often dyads engaged in both negative and positive escalation (i.e., a pattern of negative or positive behavior of one partner being reciprocated by the other). Adolescents who reported that their mothers used more non‐supportive responses to their negative emotion tended to exhibit higher SCL and engage in more negative escalation with their mothers during the interaction task. Furthermore, adolescents’ SCL was positively correlated with both their state anxiety levels and negative escalation during the task. Together, these findings suggest that adolescents who perceive their mothers as less supportive of negative emotions are more likely to exhibit greater negative emotionality during parent–adolescent interaction, which may relate to risk for emotional disorders.

Early adolescents (aged 12-15) were observed during dyadic conflict discussions with their siblings ( n = 23) and mothers ( n = 32) in their homes. The verbal conflict behaviors and affect of family members were coded continuously. Sequential analyses identified temporal associations between individuals’ affect and their own and their partners’ verbal conflict behaviors. In addition, within-family and across-context similarities in behavior were examined. Results revealed that while many links between emotion and behavior were consistent with previous research (e.g., attack/assert when frowning/upset, withdraw/concede when sad), several differences emerged depending on the relationship (sibling vs. mother-adolescent) and position in the family (e.g., adolescent vs. mother). Furthermore, many within-family similarities were observed in responses to emotion, while adolescents showed few similarities in their behavior across contexts. Results are discussed in relation to the developmental context of early adolescence and family systems theory.
