ABSTRACT

The present study is designed to investigate Korean Parents’ beliefs about children’s emotions and their relationship to parents’ emotion-related parenting behavior. To these ends, both parents completed questionnaires regarding parental beliefs about feelings, parents’ own emotional expression, coping strategies for children’s negative emotion expression, and emotion talk. Our results showed that Korean parents’ beliefs about children’s emotions include beliefs about emotional language, developmental readiness, emotional bonding, and emotion expression. Beliefs about emotional bonding are the highest, and gender (mother vs. father) differences are the largest in terms of beliefs about emotion expression. Our results also revealed gender differences in the expression of positive and intimate emotions and the frequency of emotion talk with their children. Finally, we found a significant relationship between Korean parents’ beliefs about children’s emotions and their parenting behavior in both parents.
