This study investigated the importance of emotion-eliciting context (positive and negative) and mother's behaviors (constrained and involved) on toddlers' emotion regulation behavioral strategies, emotional expressiveness and intensity, during three episodes eliciting fear, frustration/anger and positive affect. Fifty-five children between 18 and 26 months of age and their mothers participated in the study. Toddlers' regulatory strategies varied as function of emotion-eliciting context (children exhibited behavioral strategies more frequently during positive affect and frustration/anger episodes and less frequently during fear episodes) and maternal involvement. Toddlers' expression of emotion varied as function of emotion-eliciting context (children exhibited more emotional expressions, both negative and positive during fear and frustration/anger episodes compared to positive affect episodes). Toddlers' expression of emotion was not strongly related to maternal involvement, however, the intensity of emotional expression was related to the interaction of context and maternal involvement.
本研究调查了情绪诱发情境（积极和消极）和母亲行为（约束和投入）对幼儿在三个引发恐惧、挫折/愤怒和积极情绪的情景中情绪调节行为策略、情绪表达和强度的影响。55 名 18 至 26 个月大的儿童及其母亲参与了这项研究。幼儿的调节策略因情绪诱发情境（儿童在积极情绪和挫折/愤怒情景中更频繁地表现出行为策略，而在恐惧情景中则较少）和母亲投入程度的不同而有所不同。幼儿的情绪表达因情绪诱发情境而异（与积极情绪情景相比，儿童在恐惧和挫折/愤怒情景中表现出更多的情绪表达，包括积极和消极情绪）。然而，儿童的情绪表达强度与情境和母亲投入的相互作用有关，而不是与母亲投入程度密切相关。
