Abstract
“Moments of conflict” occur regularly in daily routines within parent-child interaction. Video data of a mother attempting to ready her son for kindergarten make perspicuous the subtleties of emotion displays in negotiations for future courses of action, e.g., parental directive/non-compliance. By focusing on the interactional dynamics of emotion display in conflictual action negotiation sequences, this conversation analytic study highlights the significant role of emotion display in compliance negotiation and managing a parent-child relationship. The findings demonstrate how emotion display may constitute a social action to which co-participants in interaction respond within the progressivity of sequences of action, and how both parent and child orient to each other’s displays of emotion. Further, that emotion displays may be used as resources for negotiating compliance. Emotion display also allows parents to propose affiliation on a relational level while remaining firm on family rules. Our study contributes to the growing body of research on directive/response sequences in parent-child interaction, and more broadly to conversation analytic research on affect and emotion by illustrating the nexus between emotion display and progressivity.
