Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is a lifelong, heterogeneous condition that, beyond its primary impact on language, can also have significant consequences on other aspects of life, including mental health. Although most foreign studies suggest that children with DLD are at higher risk of poorer psychoemotional outcomes, the results are inconsistent. Personal narratives from children can provide valuable insights into their emotional world, but the emotional valence of these narratives remains underexplored. The aim of this study was to examine the psychoemotional characteristics and emotional valence of personal narratives from children with DLD aged 9 to 11 and to compare them with their typically developing peers. Additionally, the study explored the relationship between psychoemotional characteristics and the emotional valence of narratives in children with DLD. The study included 60 children, divided into two groups: children with DLD (N=30) and typically developing children (N=30). Psychoemotional characteristics were assessed using Beck's Inventories for Youth (Beck et al., 2011), while the Global TALES protocol (Westerveld et al., 2022) was used to elicit personal narratives. The results showed that children with DLD exhibited increased symptoms of anxiety and depression compared to typically developing children, while no differences were found in the prevalence of anger and disruptive behavior symptoms. Children with DLD were more likely to tell narratives about unpleasant events with negative endings, with differences particularly pronounced in narratives prompted by anger and significant events, while narratives prompted by other stimuli did not significantly differ from those of typically developing children. In narratives about significant events, children with DLD were more likely to compensate for negative elements with positive ones compared to narratives prompted by anger. Furthermore, a correlation was found between disruptive behavior and the emotional valence of narratives, with children exhibiting fewer disruptive behavior symptoms tending to narrate more positive personal narratives. This study highlights the potentially compromised mental health of children with DLD and suggests the importance of the emotional valence of their personal narratives as an additional insight into their emotional state. However, further research is needed to confirm these findings. It is crucial to emphasize the need for close collaboration between speech therapists and psychologists to ensure comprehensive support for both the linguistic and emotional development of the child.
