Children’s understanding of emotion. This two-year grant examines third-grade
children’s understanding of emotion in across multiple domains and contexts and
considers mothers‘ socialization beliefs and behaviors as longitudinal predictors, and
children’s social competence in school as outcomes. We expect multiple papers to
emerge from this grant, with each of us as first authors.

of families with four-year-old children, we find frequent use of gendered language by
both parents and children. Further, it appears that when parents lead with gendered
language, children follow.
