Abstract:
|
Background and aims: The ability to regulate negative emotions is one of important components for children’s socioemotional competence. Emotional interaction with parents in everyday life is a mutual process through which parents teach children how to deal with emotions, and reversely, children’s emotional reactions change emotional behaviors and disciplinary strategies of their parents. Thus, bidirectional influences between parents and children during early years may lead children to certain types of emotional experiences, and furthermore, affect children’s ability to regulate emotions. But few studies have investigated longitudinal relationships between parent-child emotional interactions and children’s later emotional outcomes, especially in non-Western contexts. The current study examined the longitudinal influences of mutual emotional interactions between Korean children and their mothers on children’s self-regulation of emotion.
Methods: Data was collected from 58 mother-child dyads who have participated in a longitudinal study. In the preschool period, children and mothers were observed in a lab setting including 5 free play and 5 structured play episodes. Dyadic interactions were videotaped and analyzed in terms of maternal sensitivity, emotional expressions, children’s goal-corrected behaviors to their mothers, and self-regulatory behaviors. A year later, the same mother-child dyads were observed in a stressful lab setting where they were asked to complete difficult writing tasks together. Data analysis for the later study is still in progress. Two coders are rating children’s self-regulatory behaviors, emotional expression, maternal support, and dyadic cooperation.
Key findings and Discussion: In preliminary analyses on preschool data, maternal sensitive behaviors were positively correlated with children’s positive emotional expressions to mothers, and the children’s positive emotional expression is also correlated with self-regulation of emotion. Significant correlations were also found in the part of kindergarten data. Maternal support was positively correlated with children’s self-regulatory behavior, and there was a marginal association between mother-child cooperation and children’s regulation of emotion. Although data analyses about longitudinal relationships have been not yet finished, children’s emotion regulation seems to be influenced by both maternal behaviors and bidirectional emotional exchanges between children and mothers. Discussion will include the quality of synchronized adjustment of children and mothers in emotional interactions and its’ relations to children’s emotional competence. Suggestions for future study will be also discussed. |
