ABSTRACT

This study examined continuities and changes in children's and mothers' emotional expressiveness. Maternal influence on children's expressiveness, and mediation effect of mothers' overcontorolling behaviors were also examined. Sixty two children and their mothers were observed in a free play, a mother-child interaction, and a task settings at their age 5(time1) and 6(time2). Children's and mothers' behaviors were videotaped and rated by two coders in terms of positive and negative expressiveness. Results showed that children's negative expressivness at time 1 was significantly related to those at time 2. Mother expressiveness at time 1 and time 2 was also correlated with each of emotions. In addition, mothers' positive expressiveness directly affected children's positive expressiveness, but mothers' negative expressiveness was not directly associated with children's negative expressiveness. Rather, mothers' overcontrolling behavior mediated the relations between mothers and children's negative expressiveness. Discussion included continuities in emotional temperament and the paths of socialization of emotion by mothers through modeling and direct reactions.
