Abstract

Influenced by Fivush's research legacy, we examined how multiple elements of maternal emotion-related reminiscing related to children's cognitive and emotional functioning. As part of a larger project, 197 mother–child dyads (all 9 years old; 53% boys) completed an emotion reminiscing task discussing past positive and negative events. We coded mothers' elaboration, indirectness, emotion coaching, and emotion dismissing during reminiscing conversations. Latent profile analyses showed two profiles differing in extent of emotion coaching for positive events, and four profiles differing according to extent of elaboration, indirectness, and emotion dismissing for negative events. Children's elaboration when reminiscing about each event was associated with mothers' profile for the event. Mothers' reminiscing profile for the negative event was associated with observer ratings of children's use of emotion regulation strategies during frustration and disappointment tasks. Results suggest the importance of considering holistic patterns of maternal reminiscing to advance understanding of the developmental role of family reminiscing.

期刊介绍： Applied Cognitive Psychology seeks to publish the best papers dealing with psychological analyses of memory, learning, thinking, problem solving, language, and consciousness as they occur in the real world. Applied Cognitive Psychology will publish papers on a wide variety of issues and from diverse theoretical perspectives. The journal focuses on studies of human performance and basic cognitive skills in everyday environments including, but not restricted to, studies of eyewitness memory, autobiographical memory, spatial cognition, skill training, expertise and skilled behaviour. Articles will normally combine realistic investigations of real world events with appropriate theoretical analyses and proper appraisal of practical implications.
