This research focuses on offspring's perceptions of their parents' usage of conditional regard and autonomy-supportive practices in response to the offspring's experiences of negative emotion. Participants were 174 college students (60% were females). As predicted from self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000), students' perceptions of parents as hinging their regard on students' expression or suppression of negative emotions predicted a maladaptive pattern of emotion regulation and intimacy capacity. In contrast, autonomy-supportive parenting predicted more adaptive emotion regulation and intimacy patterns. Also as predicted, emotion-regulation mode mediated the relations between parental practices and intimacy capacity. The innovative aspect of the study is the finding that parents who use conditional regard to encourage children's expression (sharing) of negative emotions may actually undermine their children's socioemotional capacities.
本研究关注后代对父母在应对后代负面情绪时使用条件性关注和自主性支持实践的看法。参与者是 174 名大学生（60%为女性）。根据自我决定理论（Ryan 和 Deci，2000）的预测，学生对父母将关注取决于学生表达或抑制负面情绪的看法，这预示着一种适应性差的情绪调节和亲密能力模式。相比之下，自主性支持型教养方式预测出更适应的情绪调节和亲密模式。同样如预测的那样，情绪调节模式中介了父母实践与亲密能力之间的关系。该研究的创新之处在于发现，父母使用条件性关注来鼓励孩子表达（分享）负面情绪，实际上可能会削弱孩子的社会情感能力。
