Abstract

Abstract Although parental warmth has been shown to be related to children’s social competence, the mediating role of preadolescent children’s emotion regulation in this context has been less explored, particularly in Asian cultures. Thus, this study examined the role of emotion regulation as a mediator in the relationship between parental warmth (i.e., paternal and maternal warmth) and social competence among preadolescent children in Malaysia. Preadolescent children (N = 720; Mage = 10.95; SD = 0.59; 58.8% female) completed self-administered questionnaires. Results of correlation analysis showed that higher levels of paternal and maternal warmth were associated with greater emotion regulation in preadolescent children and a greater level of social competence. However, analysis of structural equation modeling revealed that emotion regulation significantly mediated only the relationship between maternal warmth and social competence. These findings underscored the importance of maternal warmth in promoting Malaysian preadolescent children’s social competence as well as their emotion regulation as a mediating pathway. This study also highlights the direct effect of paternal warmth on preadolescents’ social competence. Theoretical and practical implications of this study are discussed.
马来西亚青春期前儿童父母亲温暖、情绪调节和社会能力的概念模型研究
摘要尽管父母的温暖已被证明与儿童的社会能力有关,但在这种背景下,青春期前儿童情绪调节的中介作用却很少被探索,尤其是在亚洲文化中。因此,本研究考察了情绪调节在马来西亚青春期前儿童父母温暖(即父母和母亲的温暖)和社会能力之间关系中的中介作用。青春期前儿童(N = 720;Mage=10.95;SD = 0.59;58.8%的女性)完成了自我管理问卷。相关分析结果表明,在青春期前儿童中,父母的温暖程度越高,情绪调节能力越强,社会能力水平越高。然而,对结构方程模型的分析表明,情绪调节只在母亲温暖和社会能力之间起到了显著的中介作用。这些发现强调了母亲的温暖在促进马来西亚青春期前儿童的社会能力以及作为中介途径的情绪调节方面的重要性。这项研究还强调了父亲的温暖对青春期前儿童社交能力的直接影响。讨论了本研究的理论和实践意义。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Genetic Psychology is devoted to research and theory in the field of developmental psychology. It encompasses a life-span approach, so in addition to manuscripts devoted to infancy, childhood, and adolescence, articles on adulthood and aging are also published. We accept submissions in the area of educational psychology as long as they are developmental in nature. Submissions in cross cultural psychology are accepted, but they must add to our understanding of human development in a comparative global context. Applied, descriptive, and qualitative articles are occasionally accepted, as are replications and refinements submitted as brief reports. The review process for all submissions to The Journal of Genetic Psychology consists of double blind review.
