With contradictions possibly related to child age, some studies suggest that child negative
emotionality elicits more parental warmth, 10 whereas other studies suggest it has mixed associations with parental warmth.11 However, there is more consistent evidence that high levels of parental sensitivity / responsivity lead to less child negative reactivity.8, 12 There is also some evidence that child negative
emotionality predicts more negative parental
control, 7 and a little evidence that negative parental
control predicts more negative
emotionality.13 In terms of more specific aspects of negative
emotionality, child fearfulness predicts more parental warmth and more positive
control.14 Similarly, low levels of parental warmth predict increases in fearfulness.12

emotionality, and infant attachment security.18
