“…Developmental research suggests that secure attachment is related to a more emotionally open conversation between mother and child, with more frequent verbal references to feelings (Laible & Thompson, 2000). Such interactions foster advanced understanding of emotions in preschool children (Ontai & Thompson, 2002).…”

Our study examines the relations of attachment and personality dimensions in young adults. Particular focus of the study is attachment to friends, a form of intimate relations that is less frequently represented in attachment research. For this purpose, modified Brennan's Inventory of Experience in Close Relations (Kamenov & Jelić, 2003) and NEO PI-R assessing five personality dimensions (Costa & McCrae, 1992) were administered to the sample of 352 university students. Results demonstrate a variety of relations between two dimensions of attachment to friends and personality traits, both at the domain and facet level. Anxious attachment to friends is primarily related to neuroticism, while avoidance in friendships is mainly characterized by lower results in two interpersonal domains, extraversion and agreeableness.

“…Because the reminiscing context is one in which mothers and children are exploring what happened, and what it means, more securely attached dyads will be better able to discuss, negotiate and elaborate on what happened, and especially the emotional content of past experiences. Indeed, more securely attached mother-child dyads reminisce in more highly elaborated ways, especially about emotions (Farrar, Fasig, & Wech-Ross, 1997;Laible, 2004b;Laible & Thompson, 2000;Oppenheim, Nir, Warren, & Emde, 1997).…”

Maternal Reminiscing Style and Children’s Developing Understanding of Self and Emotion

Individual differences in how mothers structure reminiscing about shared past experiences with their preschool children are related to children's developing autobiographical memory skills and understanding of self and emotion. More specifically, mothers who engage in highly elaborative reminiscing have children who come to tell more coherent and emotionally expressive autobiographical narratives, and these children also show better understanding of self and are better able to regulate emotion than children of less elaborative mothers. This body of research is reviewed and relations between maternal reminiscing style and children's developing self and emotional understanding are explicated.

“…Research on parenting suggests that parents who use "other-oriented induction" (i.e., discussing the effects of their children's actions on others) in discipline encounters (typically in the context of conflict over children's noncompliance) are most likely to have children who internalize their values (Hoffman, 1984). In addition, research has also linked the discussion of emotion (when discussing children's misbehavior) with children's level of internalization (Laible & Thompson, 2000) and early conscience development. Thus, the use of clear and extensive explanations (i.e., justification) by parents in conflicts concerning rules and moral issues, coupled with the discussion of emotion, is likely to facilitate children's early conscience development.…”

Sixty-three mother-toddler dyads took part in a 6-month prospective study that examined how differences in the frequency and nature of early mother-toddler conflict related to individual differences in children's subsequent socioemotional development. When the children were 30 months, mothers and children participated in a series of laboratory tasks and in a 1.5-hr unstructured home observation. All episodes of verbal conflict between mothers and their children were identified from these sessions, transcribed, and coded for certain elements (e.g., strategy, discussion of emotion, and resolution). At 36 months, children participated in measures of emotional understanding, social competence, and early conscience development. Mothers' use of justification, resolution, and mitigation in conflict at 30 months predicted high levels of socioemotional development at age 3. These findings suggest that conflict may be an important context for children's socioemotional development.
