“…For example, Parke (1996) noted that father-child interactions are characterized by greater emotional arousal as well as more unpredictability, and has argued that this provides greater opportunities for learning emotion regulatory skills within the context of these exchanges. Father' s emotion socialization practices predicted child emotional competence (McDowell & Parke, 2005) and psychological distress (Garside, 2004). Also, fathers are often more punitive in response to their children' s displays of emotion than mothers Eisenburg, Fabes, & Murphy, 1996).…”

This chapter provides a review of the literature that examines the role of mothers and fathers in socializing emotion in their sons and daughters during adolescence. Within the context of this chapter, we focus on mother-father similarities, differences, and coordinated efforts in socializing the emotion of their adolescent children. Empirical data is presented that provides new evidence about the coordinated efforts of parents and its implications for the development of adolescent psychopathology. The authors emphasize the importance of both adolescent emotion capabilities and the role mothers and fathers play in supporting or deterring healthy emotional development in adolescence.

“…Concern over children ' s need for emotion regulation, if not punitive, fosters children ' s awareness of and attention to emotions (Denham, 1997 ). For example, parents ' control of children ' s emotions and their own expressiveness during family discussions were associated with grade schoolers ' emotion regulation and display rule usage (McDowell, Kim, O ' Neil, & Parke, 2002 ;McDowell & Parke, 2005 ). In contrast, overly strict sanctions about emotional expressiveness may motivate children to hide -not regulate -emotions.…”

Gary and Ron are practicing soccer moves on the playground. They have all their equipment -goal, shinpads, and regulation ball -and they ' re having fun together. Ron shows Gary how to head the ball into the goal, both shouting, " Hurray! " But then things get complicated, changing fast, as interaction often does. Ron, thinking twice about sharing his best technique, kicks the ball away from Gary on the next play. Then Huynh, who had been watching from the sidelines, asks Gary if he can join them. Simultaneously, Gary trips over a swiftly kicked ball and slumps to the ground. And just then, Jack, the class bully, approaches, laughing at Gary ' s discomfort, then angrily demanding they leave so that he and his buddies can use the fi eld. Somehow, Gary deals with all of this. He hands the ball to Huynh, extends a hand to Ron, and calmly tells Jack, " It ' s our turn now. "What do emotions have to do with social development? Our example abounds with instances where emotions help determine the fl ow and outcome of interaction. First, behaviors of others in one ' s social group often constitute antecedent conditions for children ' s emotions. When Ron became angry, it was because his goal of being the " best " was threatened. Huynh approached diffi dently because he often had been " left out " from play. Second, when children exhibit emotion within dyads or groups, this emotional expressiveness also is important information for others involved. When Gary experienced delight at making a goal, he wanted to keep playing; others, like Huynh, wanted to join him. Jack is irritable and easily provoked by those he perceives to be " in his way.

We examined perceived parental styles, emotion socialization practices and emotion dysregulation among fathers from a community sample in order to understand the intergenerational transmission of normative parenting behaviors. The sample consisted of 217 fathers of school-age children ranging in age from 6 to 12 years. We used a cross-sectional design. The fathers completed a set of self-report questionnaires including parental boding instrument, difficulties in emotion regulation scale, and coping with children's negative emotion scale. The findings indicated that fathers' perceived parental care of their own parents (G1) was negatively linked to fathers' (G2) non-supportive responses to negative emotions shown by their children (G3) through its negative association with the father's (G2) emotion regulation difficulties, whereas fathers' perceived parental overprotection of their own parents (G1) was positively linked to fathers' (G2) nonsupportive responses to negative emotions shown by their children (G3) through its positive associations with the fathers' (G2) emotion regulation difficulties. The current study contributed to the further understanding of individual differences in fathers' emotion socialization practices. The findings potentially shed lights on prevention and intervention efforts regarding limiting the expansion of maladaptive emotional parenting behaviors across generations.
