Strategies and expectations in parents' socialization of children's emotion expression
No full textThe study analyzed parents' emotion socialization strategies when their children express negative emotions (sadness and anger) in situations in which the child’s expression could hurt other individuals that are present. Influence of parent’s and children’s gender on socialization strategies, and of children’s age were the independent variables considered. Subjects were 267 Italian adults, 141 mothers and 126 fathers, whose children - attending local schools - were 4/5 or 8/9 years-old (N = 107 and 160), both male and female (N= 131 and 136). Data were collected by means of a questionnaire that presented Ss with two hypothetical stimulus events, one assumed to elicit sadness, the other one anger in a child protagonist C - e.g., in the presence of C’s mother/father, a friend of C unintentionally drops C’s ice-cream; C feels angry. Subjects - asked to assume that C would be their child, and to identify themselves with the parent in the event - answered 2 open and 1 closed question related to their predictions about C's expressive behavior, and their reactions toward C's expression of negative emotions. Qualitative and quantitative data analyses showed that parents tend to adopt a variety of strategies - e.g., ‘explaining’ the event to C; suggesting a solution to the problem (e.g., getting another ice-cream); asking C to change attitude toward the event; soothing C; etc. Both parents’ predictions, and their reactions, proved to be influenced by gender (both child’s and parent’s), and by the child’s age. For instance, parents expected older children to express negative emotions less frequently than younger children, but also expected girls to show anger much less than boys; fathers (but not mothers) suggested a solution more often for anger than for sadness events. A comparison of these results with those obtained in a previous study (Cigala & Zammuner 1998) shows that some socialization process aspects are emotion-specific, i.e. due to the nature of the elicited emotion rather than to the stimulus-event kind. The results of the study are discussed in terms of their implications as regards emotion socialization practices, and their impact on a child's well-being
A small fossil fish fauna, rich in Chlamydoselachus teeth, from the Late Pliocene of Tuscany (Siena, central Italy)
No full textA small elasmobranch teeth and teleost otolith assemblage from the Piacenzian-earliest Gelasian of Tuscany (Castelnuovo Berardenga Scalo, Siena province, Italy) is described. The exceptional abundance of teeth belonging to Cizlamydoselaclms lawleyi Davis, 1887 has enabled us to better define and confirm the validity of this doubtful fossil taxon.ln agreement with Davis (1887) and Ffeil ( 1983) this species appears lo differ from the living frilled shark C. anguìneus Garman, 1884 at least by its larger size. Palaeoecological inferences based on the ecology of C. anguineus together with deep water sharks such as Cellfrophorus granulosus (Bloch & Schneider, 1801) and the teleost otolith assemblage mainly characterised by macrourids and myctophids enable us to configure, in the Pìacenzian to earlìest Gelasian of Tuscany (Siena subbasin of the Siena-Radicofani Basin) an upper bathyal slope palaeoenvironment. The occurrence of Chlamydoselaclms in the Piacenzian-earliest Gelasian ofthe Mediterranean palaeo-area demonstrates the persistence of an oceanic environment not as profusely developed as during the early Zanclean (i.e. lower part of MPL 2 foraminiferal biozone; see Cigala Fulgosi, 1986, 1996)
