This study examined the relationship between emotion regulation, language ability, and reticent behavior in children with specific language impairment (SLI) and their typical peers. Participants included 43 children with SLI and 43 typically developing children, for a total sample of 86 participants. Children were selected from 2 age ranges: 5-8 years and 9-12 years. The Emotion Regulation Checklist (ERC; A. Shields and D. Cicchetti, 1997, 1998) and the Teacher Behavior Rating Scale (TBRS; C. H. Hart and C. C. Robinson, 1996) were completed by each child's teacher to provide measures of emotion regulation and reticence, respectively. The Comprehensive Assessment of Spoken Language (CASL; E. Carrow-Woodfolk, 1999) was administered to provide a measure of language ability. A regression analysis including all participants indicated that the emotion regulation scores and the CASL scores were significant predictors of the reticence scores, accounting for 43% of the variance. Group-specific analyses were then conducted to determine whether the 2 predictor scales differentially predicted reticence based on language and age groups. None of the tests exceeded the.05 level, indicating that there was no significant difference in predictive power on the 2 factors in question.
本研究考察了特定语言障碍（SLI）儿童及其正常同龄人在情绪调节、语言能力和沉默行为之间的关系。参与者包括43名患有特定语言障碍的儿童和43名发育正常的儿童，总样本量为86名参与者。儿童选自两个年龄范围：5 - 8岁和9 - 12岁。每个孩子的老师完成了情绪调节清单（ERC；A. 希尔兹和D. 西契迪，1997年，1998年）和教师行为评定量表（TBRS；C. H. 哈特和C. C. 罗宾逊，1996年），分别用于测量情绪调节和沉默程度。进行了口语综合评估（CASL；E. 卡罗 - 伍德福克，1999年）以测量语言能力。一项包含所有参与者的回归分析表明，情绪调节得分和CASL得分是沉默得分的显著预测因素，解释了43%的方差。然后进行了特定组分析，以确定这两个预测量表是否根据语言和年龄组对沉默有不同的预测作用。没有一项测试超过0.05的水平，表明在所讨论的两个因素上预测能力没有显著差异。
