Abstract

This study examined profiles of parental emotion dysregulation among 379 mothers (M_age = 35.99) and 397 fathers (M_age = 34.93) of children aged 8 to 12 using latent profile analyses. Three maternal (Low, Moderate, High Dysregulation) and four paternal (Low, Moderate, High Dysregulation, Emotionally Aware but Extremely Dysregulated) profiles emerged. Low (vs. high) profiles were generally associated with more supportive parental emotion socialization practices, better child emotion regulation, and lower child psychopathology. The Emotionally Aware but Extremely Dysregulated paternal profile was distinct in composition. It was associated with the poorest child psychopathology, but not the poorest child emotion regulation, of all paternal profiles, and with the highest engagement in all socialization practices (e.g., supportive practices). Findings suggest that unique patterns of deficits in parental emotion regulation may play a role in socialization of positive emotion and child functioning, particularly for fathers. These profiles can inform specific emotion-related targets for parent intervention.

母亲和父亲的情绪失调特征：与父母和儿童功能的联系

本研究通过潜在特征分析，对 379 名母亲（Mage = 35.99）和 397 名父亲（Mage = 34.93）的 8 至 12 岁子女的父母情绪失调特征进行了研究。结果显示，母亲和父亲分别有三种（低度、中度、高度情绪失调）和四种（低度、中度、高度情绪失调、有情感意识但极度情绪失调）情绪失调特征。低（相对于高）特征一般与父母更支持的情绪社会化实践、更好的儿童情绪调节和较低的儿童心理病理学有关。情绪觉醒但极度失调的父亲特征在构成上很独特。在所有父亲特征中，它与最差的儿童心理病理学有关，但与最差的儿童情绪调节无关，而且与参与所有社会化实践（如支持性实践）的程度最高有关。研究结果表明，父母在情绪调节方面的独特缺陷模式可能会在积极情绪的社会化和儿童功能方面发挥作用，尤其是对父亲而言。这些特征可以为家长干预提供与情绪相关的具体目标。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur during the life cycle and influence an individual behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process. Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span. Most importantly.
