| Summary: | In mental health ‘Expressed emotion’ used to denote the intensity of
emotional expression within the family context. Intensities of expressed
emotion might be high or low and might be considered ‘negative or ‘positive.
Mother Expressed Emotion’ refers to the range of expressed emotion towards
the individuals, (Brown, 1985).1 Adolescents are individuals that are in their
next decade of life and face internal struggles or circumstances that might
compromise directly their mental health (United Nations, 2017).2 Where the
others factors play the role in perception of occupational motivation and
abilities, the home climate is main element which put influences on
adolescents. The current study aim was to identify and explore the role of
mother expressed emotions and its association with vocational identity. To
examine this, study was conducted on 500 mothers and 500 their adolescents
from 2022 to 2023 academic year, to measure the mother expressed emotions;
parental expressed emotions scale (Akhtar & Bano, 2021)3 was used and
vocational identity scale was used for adolescents (Holland et al., 1980).4 The
data was analyzed with regression analysis and structural equation modeling
by using SPSS 27 and AMOS 27. Significant positive prediction was found
among mother expressed emotions as positive remarks found 20% and
warmth found 45% predictor of vocational identity in adolescents, while
emotional-over involvement showed -16% significantly negative predictor of
vocational identity among adolescents. It was concluded that proposed
theoretical model explained that mother expressed emotions are significant
predictor of vocational identity and results founded parallel with the previous
researches (Gupta & Leong, 2015).5
