An observational measure of anger regulation in middle childhood was developed that facilitated the in situ assessment of five maladaptive regulation strategies in response to an anger-eliciting task. 599 children aged 6-10 years (M = 8.12, SD = 0.92) participated in the study. Construct validity of the measure was examined through correlations with parent- and self-reports of anger regulation and anger reactivity. Criterion validity was established through links with teacher-rated aggression and social rejection measured by parent-, teacher-, and self-reports. The observational measure correlated significantly with parent- and self-reports of anger reactivity, whereas it was unrelated to parent- and self-reports of anger regulation. It also made a unique contribution to predicting aggression and social rejection.
开发了一种童年中期愤怒调节的观察性测量方法，该方法有助于对五项应对愤怒诱发任务的适应不良调节策略进行现场评估。599名6至10岁的儿童（M = 8.12，SD = 0.92）参与了该研究。通过与父母和自我报告的愤怒调节及愤怒反应性的相关性来检验该测量方法的结构效度。通过与教师评定的攻击性以及父母、教师和自我报告测量的社会排斥之间的联系来确定效标效度。该观察性测量方法与父母和自我报告的愤怒反应性显著相关，而与父母和自我报告的愤怒调节无关。它在预测攻击性和社会排斥方面也做出了独特贡献。
