요약 | Individuals in close relationships can have a powerful influence on each other's emotions, and ultimately, their emotional well-being. The concept of two individuals' emotional experiences or underlying physiology being temporally linked is referred to as emotional synchrony. Emotional synchrony has been studied in parent-infant and romantic partners but very little work has examined emotional synchrony during adolescence, a period during which mental health risks increase and close relationships change significantly. The present study examined parent-child emotional synchrony during adolescence and its association with adolescent mental health and the parent-adolescent relationship. This was examined within a three-minute positive interaction context in a community sample of 32 adolescent girls and their mothers. Emotional synchrony was indicated by moment-to-moment temporal linkage, both concurrently and with a one second lag (i.e., adolescent following mother or vice versa) of heart rate or facial displays of positive affect between adolescents and their mothers. Synchrony was observed in 3.1% to 37.5% of dyads, depending on the time lag and heart rate versus positive affect. There was a very low occurrence of heart rate synchrony across time lags, and, on average across time lags, significant positive affect synchrony was observed in one third of dyads. There were no significant associations between synchrony and current adolescent depressive symptoms and there were unexpected associations with parent-adolescent relationship quality. Post-hoc analyses showed that dyads who endorsed indicators of adolescent risk for depression, such as mothers' depressive symptoms and adolescent trait tendency to experience depressed mood, were less likely to display positive affect synchrony. The results of this study highlight the variability between dyads on the prevalence and patterns of synchrony and suggest that synchrony between parents and adolescents may not be as universally linked to well-being as theory may suggest. |
