Communication is widely acknowledged as a crucial component of high-quality pediatric medical care, which is provided in situations where parents typically experience strong emotions. To explore emotion using both the LIWC and a self-report questionnaire to better understand the relationship between these two measures of emotion in a pediatric care context. Sixty-nine parents of 47 children who were participants in the Decision Making in Pediatric Palliative Care Study at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia took part in this study. Parents completed the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) and a semi-structured interview about their children and experience with medical decision making. The transcribed interviews were analyzed with the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) program, which yields scores for positive and negative emotional expression. The association between LIWC and PANAS scores was evaluated using multivariate linear regression to adjust for potential confounders. Parents who used more positive words when speaking about their children’s illnesses and the experience of medical decision making were more likely to report lower levels of positive affect on the PANAS: a standard deviation increase in positive emotional expression was associated with an unadjusted 7.6% decrease in self-reported positive affect (P=0.01) and an adjusted 10.0% decrease in self-reported positive affect (P=0.05) after modeling for potential confounders. A standard deviation increase in negative emotional expression was associated with an adjusted 11.3% increase in self-reported negative affect (P=0.04). The inverse relationship between parents’ positive emotional expression and their self-reported positive affect should remind both researchers and clinicians to be cognizant of the possibilities for emotional miscues, and consequent miscommunication, in the pediatric care setting.
