Research demonstrates that parents' emotion-related discourse during reminiscing shapes children's psychosocial outcomes, yet little is known about how different forms of parental emotion-related discourse work in combination. The present study takes a person-centered approach to better understand the relation of multiple forms of parental emotion discourse during reminiscing with problem behaviors in early childhood, as well as child influences on parents' emotion discourse during reminiscing. Specifically, we simultaneously examine three forms of parents' emotion-related discourse (emotion coaching and dismissing, emotion explanations, and elaboration) using cluster analysis to determine parents' patterns of these three discourse forms during discussion about past events. Parents and their preschool-aged children ( = 154) completed a parent-child reminiscing task. Transcripts were coded for emotion coaching and dismissing, emotion explanations, and elaboration. Parents reported on children's internalizing and externalizing behaviors, temperament, and gender, and children completed a language assessment. Cluster analyses revealed three parental discourse patterns: , and . Children's receptive language was associated with parents' membership in the low emotion discourse cluster. Children's temperament and gender were unrelated to parental emotion-related discourse patterns. Parents in the positive and negative emotion emphasis cluster had children with fewer internalizing behaviors compared to both other clusters, and parents in the elaboration/negative emotion emphasis cluster had children with more internalizing behaviors compared to both other clusters. Findings support the utility of a person-centered approach in providing a holistic view of parents' use of multiple emotion socialization strategies during reminiscing.

研究表明，父母在回忆时的情绪相关话语会影响孩子的心理社会发展结果，但目前尚不清楚不同形式的父母情绪相关话语是如何共同起作用的。本研究采用以个体为中心的方法，以更好地理解父母在回忆时的多种情绪相关话语形式与儿童早期问题行为之间的关系，以及儿童对父母在回忆时的情绪话语的影响。具体来说，我们使用聚类分析同时考察父母情绪相关话语的三种形式（情绪指导和忽视、情绪解释和详述），以确定父母在讨论过去事件时这三种话语形式的模式。父母及其学龄前儿童（n=154）完成了一项亲子回忆任务。记录了亲子对话中的情绪指导和忽视、情绪解释和详述的情况。父母报告了孩子的内化和外化行为、气质和性别，孩子完成了语言评估。聚类分析显示出三种父母话语模式：情绪忽视模式、情绪指导模式和情绪详述模式。孩子的接受性语言与父母属于低情绪话语聚类有关。孩子的气质和性别与父母的情绪相关话语模式无关。积极情绪强调聚类和消极情绪强调聚类中的父母的孩子的内化行为比其他两个聚类中的孩子更少，详述/消极情绪强调聚类中的父母的孩子的内化行为比其他两个聚类中的孩子更多。研究结果支持采用以个体为中心的方法来提供父母在回忆时使用多种情绪社会化策略的整体视角。（APA，2018，所有权利保留）。
