Abstract
We investigated effects of a brief, positive, child-focused savoring manipulation on maternal emotion-coaching. Mothers in the savoring condition (versus control) displayed better emotion-coaching during a challenging interaction with their 3½-year-old if they had reported high unsupportive (minimizing/punishing) responses to negative emotion on the Coping with Children’s Negative Emotion Scale.
