“…According to biopsychosocial model suggested by Chaplin (2015), gender differences regarding emotional expression component of language become more obvious due to different socialization processes that were imposed by parents, peers, and other adults. Social environment and culture also determine how a child should express her emotions in accordance with gender roles (Kathuria et al, 2023;Pugh et al, 2023;Vishkin et al, 2023). Especially cultural characteristics would matter regarding whether parents internalize egalitarian or traditional gender ideology when transferring the emotional socialization process to their children.…”

This review article aimed at explaining gender differences in expressive language that emerge beginning from the childhood from the biopsychosocial model of perspective. Afterwards, especially parental role on emotional component of expressive language was specified by giving example research studies. The most important finding was that parent and child gender may interact on child’s emotional expressiveness; while mothers tend to encourage their children to emotionally express themselves more than fathers, both mothers and fathers of girls motivate their children more to be emotionally assertive as compared to parents of boys. Parental socialization of expressive language and more specifically of emotional expressiveness results in some gender differences in both oral communication and written language among both adults and adolescents. Similar gender differences can also be observed in online communication. It seems that these differences relate both the level of linguistic effectiveness in general and mostly emotional component of the language, which is emotional expressiveness. Literature indicates that a substantial level of gender differences in language is related to socialization processes that children go through and such gender differences may put especially boys at a disadvantaged position in terms of social and emotional development. Future studies may further investigate gender differences in language and reasons behind such differences from both biological and social perspectives. Since Besides, some intervention programs for gender equality can be developed and applied in related contexts such as families and school environment.

Background: Childhood neglect, including emotional and physical forms, can impact emotional regulation strategies and cognitive functioning. Expressive suppression, a maladaptive emotion regulation strategy, and working memory deficits have been linked to early neglect experiences. However, the specific relationships between childhood neglect, expressive suppression, and working memory remain unclear, particularly in the Indian cultural context. Objective: To investigate the long-term effects of childhood emotional and physical neglect on expressive suppression and its relation to working memory performance in young Indian adults. Participants and setting: Using purposive sampling, 96 adults aged 19-26 years were recruited from Yenepoya School of Allied Health Sciences in Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka, India. Participants were screened for higher expressive suppression tendencies compared to cognitive reappraisal. Methods: Childhood neglect experiences, emotion regulation strategies, and working memory were assessed using standardized questionnaires and neuropsychological tests, including the Digit Span Backward, Trail Making Test, and Stroop Color-Word Test. Results: Correlation analyses revealed negligible associations between childhood neglect and expressive suppression (p > 0.05). Regression models confirmed childhood neglect was not a significant predictor of expressive suppression (p > 0.05). Physical neglect approached significance in predicting poorer performance on the Trail Making Test-B (p <0.05), suggesting potential impacts on cognitive flexibility. Higher childhood neglect showed a trend towards poorer verbal working memory on the Digit Span Backward test (p <0.05). Conclusions: Childhood neglect may selectively impact specific aspects of working memory, particularly the verbal component, but its influence on expressive suppression was not evident in this sample. Further research is needed to elucidate the complex relationships between early adversity, emotion regulation, and cognitive functioning.
