“…Child characteristics, such as child gender, may also be important moderators in these processes. Prior studies have shown that girls dampen more than boys (Gentzler, Ramsey, Yi, Palmer, & Morey, 2014) particularly among adolescents, where 13-14-year-old boys' dampening decreased across two years but girls' increased (Gomez-Baya, Mendoza, Paino, & Gillham, 2017), and girls in ninth (but not seventh or eighth grade) dampened more than boys (Nelis, Bastin, Raes, & Bijttebier, 2018). The tendency for girls to dampen may have downstream effects on their later positive feelings and depression (Gentzler et al, 2014;Gomez-Baya et al, 2017;Nelis et al, 2018).…”

“…Prior studies have shown that girls dampen more than boys (Gentzler, Ramsey, Yi, Palmer, & Morey, ) particularly among adolescents, where 13–14‐year‐old boys’ dampening decreased across two years but girls’ increased (Gomez‐Baya, Mendoza, Paino, & Gillham, ), and girls in ninth (but not seventh or eighth grade) dampened more than boys (Nelis, Bastin, Raes, & Bijttebier, ). The tendency for girls to dampen may have downstream effects on their later positive feelings and depression (Gentzler et al, ; Gomez‐Baya et al, ; Nelis et al, ). Perhaps these gender differences emerge as a result of gender‐differentiated PA socialization, similar to studies examining gender‐specific NA socialization and its links to psychopathology (Brand & Klimes‐Dougan, ).…”

“…Dispositional traits (i.e., temperament) also are associated with PA, which are linked to PA regulation and depression (Gentzler et al, 2014;Harding, Hudson, & Mezulis, 2014;Nelis, Bastin, Raes, Mezulis, & Bijttebier, 2016). Trait PA likely elicits and interacts with socialization processes to predict psychopathology (Putnam, 2012).…”

This article summarizes the four articles in the Social Development quartet focused on positive affect regulation in youth. Each article in the quartet shows that parents’ socialization of youth positive affect (e.g., encouraging, enhancing, savoring, or dampening responses) is associated with youth positive affect regulation and depressive symptoms. Further, three of the studies provide novel evidence for an indirect relationship whereby parental socialization predicts youth depressive symptoms through youth positive affect regulation. The studies include samples of youth across mid‐childhood and adolescence (7–18‐year‐olds) from three countries (the United States, Belgium, and India), and utilize several methods of assessing youth positive affect regulation or parental socialization (parent‐reported surveys, youth‐reported surveys, coded parent–child discussions). This integrative article also identifies several ways in which the study of youth positive affect regulation can be advanced. We address the conceptualization of positive affect regulation and the socialization of children's positive affect, constraints on the adaptiveness of upregulating positive emotions, methodological directions, potential moderated effects based on child characteristics such as sex or temperament, and the importance of studying outcomes beyond depression.

“…Indeed, preceding studies showed that insecure individuals tend to derogate and remember incorrectly aspects of positive life events, experiences, and interpersonal behaviors (Gentzler & Kerns, ; Gentzler et al., ; Gosnell & Gable, ; Sadikaj, Moskowitz, & Zuroff, ). However, securely attached individuals showed greater reflection on positive experiences (Gentzler et al., ) and savored their positive experiences more (Gentzler, Ramsey, Yi, Palmer, & Morey, ).…”

Personality Change from Life Experiences: Moderation Effect of Attachment Security

This study focused on effects of life experiences on change in personality and moderation effects of attachment security on the life experience influences. With a sample of Japanese university students (N = 1,000; 679 female; M = 19.72; SD = 1.26; age range, 18-25 years), the Big Five personality traits were assessed twice. The assessment interval was 20 weeks. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) analyses revealed that there were large between-individual differences in change and stability of the Big Five personality traits, which were accounted for by the amount of daily positive and negative life experiences during the interval period. Moreover, multi-group HLM analyses indicated that the life experience effects were moderated by participants' attachment security at Time 1. These findings suggest that the accumulation of small daily experiences may work for the personality development of university students and that environmental influences may vary by individual susceptibility to experiences, like attachment security.

“…According to Social Learning Theory, attachment has a big part to play in this transformation, but studies so far also seem to focus more on how attachment develops at an early age or how they affect adult relationships and not how they are expressed during teenage years (Joseph et al, 2014;Gentzler et al, 2014). Research has also examined behavioural predictors of dating violence (e.g., Ehrensaft et al, 2003;Roberts et al, 2011) and failed to examine adolescent relational risk factors for dating violence to the same extent (Narayan et al, 2013).…”

This research examined the relationships between adolescents' attachment, communication, trust and alienation with their parents and how satisfied those adolescents are with their family life with the independent variable of having or not experienced domestic violence. Data was collected using the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment -Revised (IPPA -R) and the Kansas Family Life Satisfaction Scale (KFLS) and 131 adolescents participated. Results indicate a high correlation between attachment, family life satisfaction and domestic violence, with mothers' attachment, trust and communication ranking higher than fathers'. Father communication and mother trust predict family life satisfaction and exposure to domestic violence had a direct effect on family satisfaction. Cluster analysis revealed three different group. Data shows that attachment to parents remains an important aspect of family relationship and domestic violence is a phenomenon that moderates the level of family life satisfaction. Detailed findings are presented and implications and research limits are discussed.
