Özet:The current study examines mother father and child triads memory conversations about positively and negatively charged past events. We especially aimed to investigate a. the extent to which parents emotional conversation would change as a factor of childs gender, and b. composition of these conversations, referring to each family members individual conversational contribution to the overall composition of the familys reminiscing style. A hundred sixty three participants consisting of 61 preschool aged children, and both of their mothers and fathers participated. In light of the previous literature, it was anticipated that both parents would use more and varied emotional memory characteristics when reminiscing with their daughters than they would do with their sons, regardless of childs gender, mothers would use more and varied emotional memory characteristics compared to fathers when reminiscing with their children and finally mothers would use more and varied emotional characteristics when reminiscing with their daughters compared to with their sons in triadic memory conversations. Results indicated that both main effect of childs gender and parent type with which parent children reminisce on parental use of emotional memory characteristics was significant. However, the interaction effect of childs gender and parent type was not found to be significant. Additionally, mothers had the highest amount of word contribution to the triadic family reminiscing, whereas both children and mothers had the highest communicational contribution in terms of turn takings to the oveall family composition of reminising. The findings of the current study were discussed with its limitations and future research directions.
