About the project
Culture is an important aspect as it plays a major role in how children develop, experience and understand emotions, and thus also how they regulate emotions. We address the question within the framework of Bronfenbrenner ecological model (Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 2007) and emotion socialization theory (Eisenberg et al., 1998), where cultural beliefs are viewed as a potential contributing factor for emotion socialization and children’s emotional and social competence.
Parents of children between 3 and 8 years of age from two different cultural backgrounds (Norwegian and Brazilian) will be invited to respond to an on line questionnaire (which takes 15-20 min to be finished) about their beliefs about emotions and their children’s emotion regulation skills.
