“…In general, more frequent positive emotion expression in children is linked with greater parent sensitivity (Braungart-Rieker, Garwood, Powers, & Wang, 2001; Miller, McDonough, Rosenblum, & Sameroff, 2002) and more frequent negative emotion expression with less sensitivity (Braungart-Rieker et al, 2001; Feldman, Dollberg, & Nadam, 2011; Miller et al, 2002; Mills-Koonce et al, 2007; Nozadi et al, 2013; Owens, Shaw & Vondra, 1998; Scaramella et al, 2008). Yet, other studies find that observed negative emotion expression is unrelated to parent sensitivity (Meier et al, 2003; Mills-Koonce et al, 2007; Pauli-Pott et al, 2000), or that more negative emotion expression is associated with greater parental responsiveness (Crockenberg & Smith, 1982). …”
