Parental Emotion Socialization and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation in Adolescents: A Network Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Parental emotion socialization strategies influence adolescent emotion regulation development. However, there are still doubts about the supportive/unsupportive role of each strategy.
