Examined longitudinal relations of observed parental warmth and positive expressivity and children's effortful control and ego control with children's high versus low emotional expressivity. Found that moderate child expressivity related to high effortful control. Children's ego overcontrol mediated relations between parental warmth/positive expressivity and children's emotional expressivity. Children's ego overcontrol elicited positive parenting/expressivity.
