For the ends, children aged from 13 to 15 were asked to complete Questionnaire including AEQ(King & Emmons, 1990), BEE(Haeyoun Choi & Kyunghwan Min, 2005), CCNES(Fabes, Eisenberg & Bernzwing, 1990). The results of the study are as follows. First, mother's reactions to child's negative emotions are significantly related to child's ambivalence over emotional expressiveness and to their belief on emotional expression. Second, all three types of mothers' nonsupportive reaciton(Distress reactions, Punitive responses, Minimization responses) have effect on children's Ambivalence and negative belief about emotional expression. Finally, mothers who were highly perceived in all three nonsupportive reaction type have children who are most high in Ambivalence and in negative belief about emotional expression.
