Daily Diary Adaptations of Maternal Responses and Adolescent Reactions

Original	Diary Adaptation
Maternal Response
Reward	“She comforted me, helped me deal with the issue, talked about my feelings, or took time to focus on me.”
Override	“She told me to cheer up, it’s no big deal, or that everything will be fine.”
Punish	“She told me to stop feeling that way, and didn’t approve of it.”
Magnify	“She showed me that she felt even more upset than I did, she got VERY upset.”
Neglect	“She did not pay attention to me or my feelings.”
Adolescent Reaction
Accepting	“I showed her I appreciated (was thankful for) the help.”
Avoidant-Protective	“I told her I was fine so she wouldn’t worry about me.”
Avoidant-Withdrawal	“I tried to get away from her or avoid the conversation.”
Attacking	“I criticized her, became mean and insulting, or asked why she bothered caring now.”

Note. Original maternal responses were drawn from O’Neal and Magai (2005), original adolescent reactions drawn from Parra et al. (2010).
