This article reviews current literature on the relationship between family context components and children and adolescents' emotion regulation (ER). It is organized around a tripartite model of familial influence: (1) children learn ER through observational learning, modeling, and social referencing; (2) parenting practices related to emotion and emotion management affect ER; and (3) ER is influenced by the family's emotional climate, including parenting style, attachment, family expressiveness, and marital relationships. The review also discusses how child characteristics like negative emotionality and gender affect ER, how socialization practices change as children develop into adolescents, and how parent characteristics like mental health influence ER socialization. The article highlights the importance of the family context in children's emotional development, emphasizing that ER is a key component of successful development. It discusses how the family environment, including parental behaviors, emotional climate, and relationships, influences children's ability to regulate emotions. The review also addresses the role of culture, peer relationships, and school in ER development, noting that more research is needed on these factors. The article presents a tripartite model of how the family influences ER: (1) observational learning, (2) parenting practices, and (3) family emotional climate. It discusses how these factors interact and influence children's ER and adjustment. The review also examines the role of child and parental characteristics, such as temperament, gender, and mental health, in shaping ER. It highlights the importance of understanding these interactions to better support children's emotional development. The article concludes with suggestions for future research on the socialization of ER, emphasizing the need for further exploration of the role of the family and other contextual factors in children's emotional regulation.This article reviews current literature on the relationship between family context components and children and adolescents' emotion regulation (ER).
