Factors affecting expressed emotion in parents of ill and normal children.
In order to examine their relationship to Expressed Emotion, family environment and marital relationships were measured in the parents of disruptive, obsessive-compulsive, and normal children. Satisfactory family and martial environment were found to be related to low Expressed Emotion, while achievement orientation in mothers and greater family conflict were found to be significantly related to high Expressed Emotion.
