What does this research mean for the field?

Adolescent suicidal ideation is associated with distinct patterns of daily parent-adolescent emotion contagion, specifically characterized by an inverse transmission where one's positive emotions predict lower positive emotions in the other the following day. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.NOVEL_FINDING. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

To examine how adolescent suicidal ideation influences daily bidirectional emotion contagion patterns between parents and adolescents.

Overview

Daily diary study reveals altered parent-adolescent emotion contagion in families with suicidal ideation, indicating disrupted positive emotional transmission.

Key Points

To examine how adolescent suicidal ideation influences daily bidirectional emotion contagion patterns between parents and adolescents.
Assessed 156 parent-adolescent dyads (adolescents: mean age 14.66 years, SD = 1.47; 58% female) recruited from Texas communities using a 14-day daily diary protocol.
Evaluated daily emotional transmission using a multi-group actor-partner interdependence modeling (APIM) framework comparing dyads with and without adolescent suicidal ideation.
Dyads without adolescent suicidal ideation showed limited daily emotion contagion between parents and adolescents.
In dyads with adolescent suicidal ideation, parent positive emotions prospectively predicted significantly lower adolescent positive emotions the following day.
Adolescent positive emotions reciprocally predicted significantly lower parent positive emotions on the subsequent day in the suicidal ideation group.
