Parental meta-emotion philosophy, which is a stable pattern of parents' cognition, reaction, and belief on children's negative emotional behaviors, can be categorized into four types: emotion-coaching, emotion-noninvolvement, emotion-dismissing, and emotion-dysfunction. This study discusses how the maternal meta-emotion philosophy differences affect mothers' interaction with children, and in turn shape children's attachment inclination to them. Structural equation modeling was used to test a hypothetic model and the results revealed a pretty good model fit. Mothers with higher emotion-coaching philosophy benefited children in achieving a more secure attachment, and inhibited inclination of insecure-resistant and insecure-avoidant attachment, whereas mothers with higher emotion-dismissing philosophy were more likely to cause their children to show more insecureresistant attachment. Meanwhile, we also found that this association between meta-emotion philosophy and attachment style is better explained by the girls sample than by the boys sample. |
