Despite the extensive bulk of literature on maternal reminiscing style, only a handful of reminiscing studies have investigated gender differences in parental reminiscing style, with none of these studies having explored the possible relationship between parental involvement level and parental reminiscing style. The current study investigated gender differences in parental reminiscing style across positive and negative event types in an egalitarian Scandinavian context while exploring the potential relationship between parental reminiscing style and parental involvement level. Mothers and fathers from N = 88 families reminisced about shared happy and sad events, respectively, with their 4‐year‐old children. Overall, parental involvement level was not related to parental reminiscing style. However, mothers’ elaborations and positive evaluations were associated with their level of involvement level in the sad event conversations. Although mothers and fathers did not differ in their reminiscing style overall, gender differences appeared in the consistency of parental reminiscing style across event types.

斯堪的纳维亚样本中性别和父母参与亲子回忆的情况

尽管有关孕产妇回忆方式的文献很多，但只有少数回忆研究调查了父母回忆方式中的性别差异，但这些研究都没有探讨父母参与程度与父母回忆方式之间的可能关系。当前的研究调查了在平等的斯堪的纳维亚语境下，正面和负面事件类型下父母的回忆方式在性别上的差异，同时探索了父母的回忆方式与父母参与程度之间的潜在关系。来自N的父母 = 88个家庭分别与4岁的孩子回忆起共同的快乐和悲伤的事。总体而言，父母的参与程度与父母的回忆方式无关。然而，母亲的努力和积极的评价与他们在悲伤事件对话中的参与程度有关。尽管父母总体上的回忆方式没有差异，但性别差异体现在不同事件类型的父母回忆方式的一致性上。
