Parental Meta‐Emotion Philosophy: A Review of Research and Theoretical Framework

Abstract: The concept of parental meta‐emotion philosophy (PMEP)—the idea that parents have an organized set of beliefs, thoughts, and feelings about their own and their children's emotions—was introduced in 1996. Since then, empirical studies have examined the validity of the PMEP construct in relation to children's psychosocial adjustment and parent and child characteristics. This article reviews the current state of knowledge regarding PMEP, summarizing what the field has learned, and identifying critical directions … Show more

Firstly, changes in the participants' meta-emotion philosophy indicate a reduction in levels of emotion dismissing beliefs by practitioners and more of emotion coaching beliefs and, by implication, an increase in adult self-regulation.…”

“…Emotion coaching engages with the adult's beliefs, attitudes, awareness, expression and regulation of emotion, their reactions to children's expressions and the adult's discussion and support or coaching of children's emotions (their metaemotion philosophy). This corresponds with the evidence identifying the important skills needed to support parental socialization of children's emotions (Katz et al, 2012). The reported improvements in adult self-regulation during behavioural incidents and enhanced social relationships with children and young people can be linked to other research which highlights the significance of emotional regulation.…”

“…Responsiveness to the child's emotions is positively associated with good self-esteem index, good school results and cognitive development, and lower incidence of behavior problems (Sanders & Morawska, 2011). In turn, punitive parents can teach the child to avoid negative emotional demonstration, leading to inadequate expression of emotion (Gottman, Katz, & Hooven, 1996;Katz, Maliken, & Stettler, 2012;Morris et al, 2007). Ignoring the child's emotion is associated with poorer developmental outcome of emotion (Melo, 2005).…”
