母亲（N = 60）和父亲（N = 53）对6至11岁女儿（N = 59）和儿子（N = 54）悲伤调节行为（即，抑制，失调，应对）进行了检查，除了父母的反应，儿童的假设悲伤的显示。方差和回归分析的多变量分析结果表明，父母的看法和期望的变化，在儿童的悲伤行为不同的父母性别，儿童性别和儿童年龄（年轻（1，2年级），老年人（4，5年级））的函数，并预测的可能性，应急响应儿童的悲伤行为。总体而言，父亲报告说，可能会响应悲伤与最小化，而母亲报告说，可能会与表达性的鼓励和以问题为中心的战略。然而，这些家长报告的社会化反应倾向，更充分地解释了儿童的悲伤调节行为和满意度与这些行为的看法之间的相互作用。这些发现强调了需要将父母性别和父母认知作为情绪社会化研究的重要变量。
Mothers' (N = 60) and fathers' (N = 53) perceptions of and desire for change in their 6- to 11-year-old daughters' (N = 59) and sons' (N = 54) sadness regulation behaviors (i.e., inhibition, dysregulation, coping) were examined in addition to parental responses to children's hypothetical sadness displays. Results of multivariate analyses of variance and regression analyses suggest that parental perceptions of and desired change in children's sadness behavior differ as a function of parent gender, child gender and child age (younger (grades 1, 2), older (grades 4, 5)), and predict the likelihood of contingent responses to children's sadness behavior. Overall, fathers reported being likely to respond to sadness with minimization whereas mothers reported being likely to respond with expressive encouragement and problem-focused strategies. These parent-reported socialization response tendencies, however, were more fully explained by the interaction between perceptions of children's sadness regulation behaviors and satisfaction with these behaviors. These findings highlight the need to include parent gender and parental cognitions as important variables in emotion socialization research.
