Abstract
ABSTRACT As adolescents transition to adulthood, they must navigate rapid changes in their brains and bodies, as well as new dynamics within their families. By applying and extending confirmation theory, this paper demonstrates how parental confirmation within a conversation about a teen’s self-disappointment is related to teens’ emotion regulation. Results from a study of 94 parent-adolescent dyads revealed the types of everyday events that elicit self-disappointment for teens. In conversations about these events, parental acceptance was positively associated with their affective improvement, conversation positivity, and perceived understanding, whereas parental challenge was positively associated with teens’ reappraisal of the disappointing event. Both theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
