Abstract

Chinese American immigrant families (N=258, 52% low-income) participated in a two-wave longitudinal study. At Wave1 families (M = 7.4 years) were videotaped during a picture book task and emotion discussion was coded. The quality of emotion discussion at Wave1 predicted children’s sympathy and social skills at Wave2 (M =9.2 years).
