Abstract
The current work investigates intergenerational transmission of emotional memories in parent-teen dyads. We found parent’s emotions linked to specific memories were transmitted to teens, and parent-teen emotional concordance was related to the quality of memory transmission. This work may assist in understanding of intergenerational memory transmission and adolescent well-being.
