The present study (N = 193) examined use of emotional regulation strategies in physically and relationally aggressive preschool children (mean age: 55 months), compared to non-aggressive peers. To assess emotion regulation, we conducted a structured videotaped behavioral observation of a situation where frustration was elicited. Afterwards, regulation strategies were analyzed in seven categories. Physical and relational aggression was rated by preschool teachers. Cut-off scores were used to classify children as relationally or physically aggressive. Results show that physically aggressive children focused their attention on frustrating stimulus and used venting and cognitive verbalization more often than non-physically aggressive children. Relationally aggressive children used venting more often than non-relationally aggressive children. Findings suggest that aggressive children would benefit from training in emotion regulation.
本研究（N = 193）调查了身体攻击型和关系攻击型学龄前儿童（平均年龄：55个月）与非攻击型同伴相比情绪调节策略的使用情况。为了评估情绪调节，我们对引发挫折感的情境进行了结构化的录像行为观察。之后，对调节策略进行了七类分析。身体攻击和关系攻击由幼儿园教师进行评分。使用临界分数将儿童分类为关系攻击型或身体攻击型。结果表明，身体攻击型儿童比非身体攻击型儿童更将注意力集中在令人沮丧的刺激上，且更多地使用发泄和认知言语化策略。关系攻击型儿童比非关系攻击型儿童更频繁地使用发泄策略。研究结果表明，攻击性儿童将从情绪调节训练中受益。
