• The Development of Children's Oral Narratives Across Contexts (2010, background): “For example, in a recent study examining cultural variations in the use of emotions in Chinese and Euro-American mother–child conversations, Fivush and Wang (2005) found that Euro-American children argued and negotiated the emotional topics more than did Chinese children, which highlights the diff”
• Elaborating on elaborations: role of maternal reminiscing style in cognitive and socioemotional development. (2006, background): “…mothers are more elaborative and evaluative overall when reminiscing about emotions with their preschool children than are Chinese mothers, and they focus on causes and resolutions of emotional experiences more than Chinese mothers (Fivush & Wang, 2005; Wang, 2001; Wang & Fivush, 2005).”
• Does It Matter if Preschool Children and Mothers Discuss Positive vs. Negative Events During Reminiscing? Links with Mother-reported Attachment, Family Emotional Climate, and Socioemotional Development (2011, background): “Recent research has supported the idea that the nature and function of reminiscing does vary across cultures and ethnic groups (Fivush & Wang, 2005; Wang, 2004; Wang, Leichtman, & Davies, 2000), and thus, generalizing the findings from this study to other cultural groups seems unwise.”
• Maternal Reminiscing Style and Children’s Developing Understanding of Self and Emotion (2007, background): “Euro-American mothers are more elaborative and evaluative overall when reminiscing about emotions with their preschool children than are Chinese mothers, and they focus on causes and resolutions of emotional experiences more than Chinese mothers ( Fivush & Wang, 2005; Wang, 2001; Wang & Fivush, 200”
• Parent-Child Reminiscing Locates the Self in the Past. (2006, background): “…Chinese mothers often take a more directive role, asking specific questions and offering specific corrections to children's responses (Wang, 2001). western mothers also negotiate their children's emotional reactions during reminiscing to a greater extent than Chinese mothers (Fivush & Wang, 2005).”
• Functions of Memory Sharing and Mother-Child Reminiscing Behaviors: Individual and Cultural Variations (2009, result): “In the present study, negations were low in frequency (consistent with other research, eg, Fivush & Wang, 2005 ) and as such were combined with confirmations into a single category.”
