The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between child's attachment and mother-child conversations about negative emotions. Participants were 30 pairs of mothers and their children (13 boys and17 girls). The attachment scores of children were assessed by using the "Attachment Scale of One-to-three-year olds", including secure score, avoidant score, and ambivalent score. The dyads discussed children's previous negative emotional experiences at home. These conversations were audio taped by the mothers. All the tapes were transcribe verbatim according to the rules of Child Language Data Exchange System (CHILDES)(MacWhinney, 2000). According to literature, this study developed 7 codes to analyze the conversations: attribution, cause, validation, clarifying, resolution, elicitation, behavioral results. The results were as follow. (1) for the children, the higher the avoidant scores the more use of emotional words. (2) for the children, the higher the secure scores the more use of "cause". (3) for the mothers, there was a positive correlation between secure score and mothers' use of "resolution." Discussions and implications were also included in the paper. |
