MATERNAL EXPRESSED EMOTIONS; NAVIGATING THE PATHWAYS OF ADOLESCENT EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING AND RESILIENCE
Main Article Content
Abstract
The present study examines the influence of maternal expressed emotions on the emotional well-being and resilience of adolescents, navigating the involved pathways that connect maternal interactions to psychological outcomes. A quantitative cross-sectional approach, was used involving a diverse sample (N=370 M & 370 A) of adolescents and their respective mothers. The study utilizes established scales to measure maternal expressed emotions, adolescent emotional well-being, and resilience. Statistical analyses, including correlation and regression analysis, are conducted to explore the relationships between these variables. The findings probe on the significant role, that maternal expressed emotions play in shaping adolescent emotional development. The results reveal correlations between specific types of maternal expressed emotions and varying levels of emotional well-being and resilience among adolescents. These findings underscore the importance of mother emotional interactions as potential contributors to the psychological issues like emotional well-being and resilience abilities of adolescents. The implications of this study extend to parenting practices and interventions aimed at promoting positive maternal expressed emotions and improved emotional wellbeing and resilience in adolescents. The research contributes to the existing literature by providing insights into the mechanisms through which maternal expressed emotions impact the intricate landscape of adolescent emotional well-being and resilience.
