亲子对负面经历的回忆影响着儿童“情绪自我概念”的发展，它包括三个相互关联的功能：自我定义（我是一种情绪化的人）、自我关联（我如何表达和分享我的情绪）和应对（我如何应对和解决负面情绪）。在这项研究中，我们调查了70位中产阶级白人母亲如何与她们4岁的孩子讨论三种负面经历（恐惧、愤怒和悲伤）。关于恐惧的对话详细阐述了事件的事实和情绪解决方案，从而专注于应对。关于悲伤的对话包含评估反馈和情感解决方案，因此专注于自我关系和应对。最后，关于愤怒的对话强调了情绪状态本身，从而关注自我定义。与儿子相比，母亲对女儿也更仔细，更善于评价，并且把情感事件放在女儿而不是儿子的人际关系中。因此，女孩可能会形成比男孩更复杂和更人际关系的情感自我概念。
Parent-child reminiscing about negative experiences influences children's developing "emotional self-concept", which comprises three interrelated functions: self-defining (this is the kind of emotional person I am), self-in-relation (this is how I express and share my emotions with others), and coping (this is how I cope with and resolve negative emotion). In this study, we examined how 70 mostly white, middle-class mothers discuss three negative experiences (fear, anger, and sadness) with their 4-year-old children. Conversations about fear elaborate on the facts of the event and emotional resolutions, thus focusing on coping. Conversations about sadness contain evaluative feedback and emotional resolutions, thus focusing on self-in-relation and coping. Finally, conversations about anger highlight the emotional state itself, thus focusing on self-definition. Mothers are also more elaborative and more evaluative with daughters than with sons, and place emotional events in a more interpersonal context with daughters than sons. Thus girls may be forming a more elaborated and more interpersonal emotional self-concept than boys.
