Developmental theories propose that children learn emotion regulation through dynamic interactions with their parents over time. Emotion regulation is transmitted intergenerationally through environmental and genetic pathways, yet both parents and children evoke regulatory capacities from each other. Further, these interactive effects iterate on a micro -level day by day, as well as on a longer time scale, influenced by factors like parenting style and dyadic conflict. Thus, dyadic parent–child emotion regulation is a bidirectional developmental process requiring careful study design, measurement, and analysis. Yet there are fewer research studies on these dynamic processes than one would expect, perhaps due to the aforementioned complexity. In this chapter, we provide a brief theoretical background on interactive emotion regulation between parent–child dyads, review example studies that have addressed these processes, identify conceptual and methodological barriers to conducting this research, and provide resources for researchers. Finally, we highlight the Actor–Partner Interdependence Model to derive interactive and bidirectional inferences into parent–youth emotion regulation.
