Objective: This study explored parental meta-emotion philosophy (PMEP) among second-generation Korean American mothers in an exploratory sample, using a phenomenological approach to understand how mothers perceive and engage with their own and their children’s emotions in a cultural context. Prior PMEP research has largely focused on European American families, raising questions about how PMEP concepts are interpreted across cultural contexts.
Methods: Five second-generation Korean American mothers of preschool-aged children participated in semi-structured online interviews using the Meta-Emotion Interview Protocol. The interviews were analyzed using a phenomenological method to identify significant statements, formulated meanings, and themes.
Results: Six overarching themes emerged: (1) negative emotions as natural and personal experiences, (2) navigating situations underlying negative emotions, (3) valuing emotional regulation as a necessary life skill, (4) guiding children through reasoning and value-based teaching, (5) intergenerational and contextual influences on emotional beliefs, and (6) social norms surrounding emotions, including gendered expectations and emotional restraint. The mothers emphasized understanding and addressing the causes of negative emotions, privately processing emotions, and guiding children through reasoning, empathy, and moral teaching.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that, within this exploratory sample, mothers’ PMEP-related beliefs and practices reflect adaptive and contextually meaningful responses to cultural values, intergenerational experiences, and everyday demands. This study offers culturally grounded considerations for interpreting and applying PMEP concepts in related Korean-American family contexts and underscores the value of data-driven qualitative inquiry with diverse samples.
