Abstract

Children talking to their parents more frequently about past experiences tend to have higher emotion regulation skills and self-esteem in their future lives, which may lead to higher volume and richer emotional content in future memories. Previous research also indicated that self-esteem has a strong bond with emotion regulation skills. This study’s aim is to measure the mediator roles of emotion regulation difficulty and self-esteem on the relationship between childhood maternal reminiscing frequency and the volume and emotional content of the current memory experienced with the mother. Additionally, mediator roles of self-esteem in the connection between past maternal reminiscing and emotion regulation difficulty, and emotion regulation difficulty in the relationship between self-esteem and the current memory variables (i.e., total words, total emotion and unique emotion words) are examined. Participants (N=124, the age range was 22-39) filled out Rosenberg Self-Esteem, Emotion Regulation Difficulty, and Family Reminiscence Scales and wrote down one negatively-charged recent memory about their mothers. Path analysis revealed significant positive associations between past maternal reminiscing and self-esteem, emotion regulation difficulty, and total and unique emotion words in recent memory, and negative association between self-esteem and emotion regulation difficulty, supporting half of the mediation hypotheses. Results supported the notion that the frequency of parent-child reminiscing conversations in childhood is a parameter of child development since it can show its prospective effect via improving self-esteem and emotional functioning. Gender differences were not evident for current memory variables but more research on this issue is needed to reach more precise conclusions.
母子记忆谈话对情绪调节、自尊和记忆的当前影响
更经常与父母谈论过去经历的孩子在未来生活中往往具有更高的情绪调节能力和自尊心,这可能会导致未来记忆中更多和更丰富的情感内容。以往的研究也表明,自尊与情绪调节能力有着密切的联系。本研究旨在测量情绪调节困难和自尊对童年时期母亲回忆频率与当前与母亲经历的记忆量和情感内容之间关系的中介作用。此外,研究还考察了自尊在过去的母亲回忆与情绪调节困难之间关系中的中介作用,以及情绪调节困难在自尊与当前记忆变量(即总词汇、总情绪和独特情绪词汇)之间关系中的中介作用。参与者(人数=124,年龄在22-39岁之间)填写了罗森伯格自尊、情绪调节困难和家庭回忆量表,并写下了一个关于母亲的负面的近期记忆。路径分析显示,过去的母亲回忆与自尊、情绪调节难度、近期记忆中的总情绪词和独特情绪词之间存在明显的正相关,而自尊与情绪调节难度之间存在负相关,支持了一半的中介假设。研究结果支持这样一种观点,即儿童时期亲子回忆对话的频率是儿童发展的一个参数,因为它可以通过改善自尊和情绪功能来显示其前瞻性效应。在当前的记忆变量中,性别差异并不明显,但要得出更准确的结论,还需要对这一问题进行更多的研究。
