- Abstract
The concept of emotional competence refers to individual differences in emotional expression and experience, understanding, and regulation. Previous studies reported the significant roles of emotional competence in children's development of social and school competence. One of the antecedent factors of emotional competence development in early childhood is parental socialization of emotion. The possible mechanisms of parental socialization of emotion can be classified in three categories, namely modeling, contingency, and coaching. Furthermore, emotion socialization by parents cannot be separated from the cultural context. Cultural values do not only affect the way individual recognizes his or her own emotion and the emotion of others, but also determine how individual expresses emotion and regulates emotion in socially acceptable ways. This paper is a literature review of some research findings of emotional socialization and theoretical approaches of cultural values roles on emotion competence. It aims to explore the roles of parental emotion socialization and culture values, which can be used as a basis to further research in creating culture-based interventions to optimize the development of early childhood emotional competence in Indonesia.
