Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Parental emotion socialization refers to the set of strategies parents employ when responding to their children’s emotional reactions. Parental emotion-related socialization behaviors involve parents’ discussion of the emotions expressed by their children, as well as the parents’ emotional reactions and expressions. Previous studies revealed significant associations between parents’ emotional socialization strategies and youths’ adjustment, emotional experience, and emotion regulation; however, there is a need for further studies exploring these strategies across different contexts and accounting for youths’ and parents’ individual differences.

This Special Issue will investigate how the most important parental emotion socialization strategies affect adolescence (mal)adjustment (e.g., internalizing problems, externalizing problems, academic achievement, prosocial behavior, emotion regulation and dysregulation); moreover, we will focus on individual (e.g., personality) and contextual (e.g., socio-economic status, life events) determinants of parental emotions socialization strategies. Finally, we will concentrate on factors that moderate/mediate the effect of parental emotion socialization strategies on adolescence (mal)adjustment. All relevant submissions are welcome.
