: Adults who have been maltreated as children are at risk for a variety of adverse sequalae that can have a negative impact on parents' emotion-related socialization behaviours (ERSBs) and contribute to the intergenerational transmission of emotion regulation difficulties. However, various supports may reduce unsupportive behaviours. Informed by Belsky's (1984) determinants of parenting model, the goal of the present study was to examine multi-level stressors and supports that may contribute to, or discourage, parents' use of unsupportive ERSBs.

- Maternal mental health issues stemming from a history of child maltreatment can negatively impact parenting, leading to poor emotional outcomes for their children.
- The study aims to investigate how difficulties with emotion regulation (ER) in mothers can contribute to unsupportive emotional socialization practices that may affect their offspring's ER skills.
- Results indicate that mothers with a history of child maltreatment are more likely to exhibit unsupportive parenting behaviors, particularly when they themselves struggle with ER, which in turn increases the likelihood of emotional difficulties in their young adult children.
