The role of maternal behavior and children's early emotion regulation skills in the development of children's reactive control, specifically behavioral impulsivity, and later effortful control was examined in a sample of 435 children. HLM analyses indicated significant growth in reactive control across the toddlerhood to early childhood period. Emotion regulation at age-2 positively predicted initial levels of children's reactive control abilities while maternal overcontrol/intrusiveness predicted lower levels of reactive control growth. Maternal behaviors at age-2 predicted children's effortful control abilities at age-5.5. Emotion regulation did not predict effortful control abilities. Maternal behavior and children's early emotion regulation skills may differentially facilitate the development of reactive and effortful control abilities.
在435名儿童的样本中,研究了母亲行为和儿童早期情绪调节技能在儿童反应性控制(特别是行为冲动性)发展以及后期努力控制发展中的作用。分层线性模型(HLM)分析表明,从幼儿期到童年早期,反应性控制有显著增长。2岁时的情绪调节正向预测儿童反应性控制能力的初始水平,而母亲的过度控制/侵扰则预测反应性控制增长水平较低。2岁时的母亲行为预测了儿童在5.5岁时的努力控制能力。情绪调节并不能预测努力控制能力。母亲行为和儿童早期情绪调节技能可能以不同方式促进反应性和努力控制能力的发展。
