Emotional reminiscing is a context where children learn culture-specific ways of understanding past emotional experiences through parentally scaffolded conversations, and learn how to connect these disparate experiences into their developing autobiographical memory. The goal of the present investigation was to explore possible gender differences in emotional reminiscing in an egalitarian cultural context (Denmark). Mothers and fathers from families (N = 88) reminisced about a happy and a sad past event with their 4.5-year-old children. Parents' and children's contributions were coded for emotion words, emotion attributions, and explanations. The emotional content did not differ as a function of parent or child gender. However, Danish children talked more about emotions overall with their mothers compared to their fathers. The results are discussed in light of the socio-cultural practices.
情绪回忆是一种情境，在此情境中，儿童通过父母引导的对话学习特定文化背景下理解过去情绪体验的方式，并学会如何将这些不同的体验融入他们正在发展的自传体记忆中。本研究的目的是探索在平等文化背景下（丹麦）情绪回忆中可能存在的性别差异。来自家庭的母亲和父亲（N=88）与他们 4.5 岁的孩子一起回忆了一个快乐和一个悲伤的过去事件。父母和孩子的贡献被编码为情绪词、情绪归因和解释。情绪内容与父母或孩子的性别无关。然而，与父亲相比，丹麦儿童与母亲交谈时更多地谈论情绪。研究结果结合社会文化实践进行了讨论。
