What happened

A 28-day study of 112 parent-teen pairs found that emotional clarity, not just listening, affects how well family members understand each other. Parents read teens better than teens read parents, and emotional suppression made understanding harder on both sides.

  • 01Parents identified teens’ emotions better than teens identified parents’ emotions.
  • 02Suppressed or hidden feelings reduced emotional understanding in both directions.
  • 03Positive emotion-sharing improved empathic accuracy within families.
  • 04The study tracked 112 families daily for 28 days.
  • 05Researchers say clearer emotional expression can help reduce parent-teen conflict.
