Current Projects
Development of Emotion and Emotion Socialization: A comparison between Caucasian and Hispanic families.
This project aims to analyze the onset of cultural effects of emotion socialization on children’s development of emotions by comparing Hispanic and Caucasian families. 2-year-old children and their mothers are observed in different situations in which positive and negative emotions are induced. Mothers are interviewed about their strategies to regulate their children’s emotions. Additionally, home observation and an emotion diary about the child are included to assess the salience of children’s emotions occurring in daily life.
Emotion Socialization in an Interdisciplinary Cross-Cultural Perspective
The above mentioned study is expanded to a cross-cultural study with collaborators in Istanbul, Turkey (Feyza Corapci), Haifa, Israel (Jenny Kurman), Cluj, Romania (Oana Benga) and Nepal (in collaboration with Pamela Cole, Penn State University) as well as to an interdisciplinary project in collaboration with Lisa Hackman, sociologist at GVSU.
Emotion Norms in Caucasian and Hispanic Children’s Books: A Media Analysis
The goal is to analyze ethnic-specific emotion norms reflected in children books. Based on a selection of 10 American popular children books in Spanish and English, we code and analyze the emotional displays of the figures in these books.
Emerging Adulthood and Individuation
This cross-national project aims to compare students’ perceptions of adulthood and the experience of this age period in three different countries: Austria, Slovenia, and USA. Cooperation partners are Ulrike Sirsch, University of Vienna, Austria, and Melita Puklek Levpuš?ek and Maja Zupan?i?, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Value of Children and Intergenerational Relationships
This international cross-cultural project aims to test how generative behavior, the readiness to invest in one’s own children and the support of parents is transmitted across generations. This study is a cross-cultural project (China, Czech Republic, Ghana, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Poland, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, United Kingdom) organized by Gisela Trommsdorff, University of Konstanz, and Bernhard Nauck, University of Chemnitz, Germany.
