Selected AbstractsThe Diving Bell and the Butterfly as an Emotional EventMIDWEST STUDIES IN PHILOSOPHY, Issue 1 2010TARJA LAINE First page of article [source] Functions of remembering and misremembering emotionAPPLIED COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY, Issue 8 2009Linda J. Levine Memory for the emotions evoked by past events guides people's ongoing behaviour and future plans. Evidence indicates that emotions are represented in at least two forms in memory with different properties. Explicit memories of emotion can be retrieved deliberately, in a flexible manner, across situations. Implicit memories of emotion are brought to mind automatically by cues resembling the context in which an emotional event occurred. One property they share, however, is that both types of memory are subject to forgetting and bias over time as people's goals and appraisals of past emotional events change. This article reviews the cognitive and motivational mechanisms that underlie stability and change in memory for emotion. We also address functions that remembering and misremembering emotion may serve for individuals and groups. Although memory bias is typically viewed as problematic, changes in representations of emotional experience often promote goal-directed behaviour and facilitate coping with challenging situations.

[source] Mothers who were severely abused during childhood and their children talk about emotions: Co-construction of narratives in light of maternal traumaINFANT MENTAL HEALTH JOURNAL, Issue 4 2004Nina Koren-Karie The article focuses on detailed examination of the co-construction of emotion dialogues between mothers and their 6-year-old children in light of mothers' experiences of being sexually, physically, and emotionally abused during childhood. We present examples from dialogues between 3 mothers and their children about emotional events experienced by the children and illustrate emotionally mismatched co-construction processes. To better understand these difficulties, the article also provides vignettes from interviews with mothers about children's inner worlds and show how examining the interviews may help explain the unfolding of the dialogues and particularly points of difficulty. The dialogues between the mothers and their children were assessed using the Autobiographical Emotional Events Dialogue procedure (Koren-Karie, Oppenheim, Chaimovich, & Etzion-Carasso, 2000). The maternal interviews were obtained using the Insightfulness Assessment procedure (Oppenheim & Koren-Karie, 2002). The discussion focuses on the significance of mother,child dialogues in shaping children's inner world, and points to the importance of providing intervention for adults who experienced childhood traumas that address not only their own personal issues but also their functioning as parents. [source] Cortisol reactions in five-year-olds to parent,child interaction: the moderating role of ego-resiliencyTHE JOURNAL OF CHILD PSYCHOLOGY AND PSYCHIATRY AND ALLIED DISCIPLINES, Issue 7 2007Sanny Smeekens Background:, This study with five-year-olds is the first to examine whether low-quality interactions with parents elicit physiological stress in children beyond toddlerhood, as evident from elevated cortisol levels in their saliva. It was hypothesised that particularly children with low levels of ego-resiliency ,a personality construct reflecting the capacity to cope with stress , would show cortisol increases during low-quality parent,child interactions. Method:, In a sample of 101 five-year-old children (62 boys), parent,child interaction was observed at home during parent,child discourse that involved the recollection and discussion of emotional events that happened to the child in the past. Saliva samples to assess cortisol levels were collected before and 20 minutes after the parent,child discourse task. The children's teacher rated child ego-resiliency using a Dutch translation of the California Child Q-set (CCQ; Block & Block, 1980). Results:, One of the two parent,child interaction factors that emerged from a principal component analysis, namely negative parent,child interactions, was significantly related to the children's cortisol reaction; more negative parent,child interactions elicited significantly stronger cortisol reactions. The other parent,child interaction factor that was found, i.e., effective guidance, was not significantly related to children's cortisol reaction. As predicted, children low on ego-resiliency showed increases in cortisol during negative interactions with their parents, whereas high ego-resilient children did not. Conclusions:, The association between negative parent,child interactions and cortisol elevations in children may point to a likely mechanism through which negative parent,child interactions contribute to negative developmental outcomes as the repeated exposure to high levels of cortisol have earlier been found to negatively affect children's development and functioning in various areas.

[source] Emotion Dialogues Between Mothers and Children at 4.5 and 7.5 Years: Relations With Children's Attachment at 1 YearCHILD DEVELOPMENT, Issue 1 2007David Oppenheim It was examined whether secure infant,mother attachment contributes to emotionally congruent and organized mother,child dialogues about emotions in later years. The attachment of 99 children was assessed using the Strange Situation at the age of 1 year and their emotion dialogues with their mothers were assessed at the ages of 4.5 and 7.5 years. Dialogues were about past emotional events and separation of a child from parents, and were classified into an emotionally matched group or 1 of 3 non-emotionally matched groups. Security in infancy was associated with emotionally matched dialogues at the age of 4.5; there was moderate stability in dialogues between 4.5 and 7.5 years; and infant attachment predicted dialogues at 7.5 beyond the prediction offered by age 4.5 dialogues.
