The purpose of the current study was to investigate how the potential multifactors influence mothers' emotion socialization. This study involved 300 Japanese-speaking married mothers with 2-5-year-old children, who answered a series of measures of emotion socialization (coaching, dismissing, dysfunction, and non-involvement), emotion regulation strategy (reappraisal and expressive suppression), psychopathology (anxiety and depression), and perceived parenting alliance with their partners. (a) Hierarchical multiple regression analyses demonstrated different effects between maternal anxiety and depression, such that higher levels of depression were associated with less coaching and higher levels of anxiety were associated with more dismissing and dysfunction. (b) Moreover, maternal emotion regulation was significant even when controlling for psychopathology, in which reappraisal had significant positive association with coaching and, conversely, expressive suppression had significant negative association with coaching and positive associations with non-involvement, dismissing, and dysfunction. (c) Additionally, moderation analysis revealed that a greater use of reappraisal was associated with more coaching, and this relation was strongest in lower levels of parenting alliance. Similarly, a greater use of reappraisal was associated with less dysfunction only when parenting alliance was low. Reappraisal may be effective in promoting supportive emotion socialization and buffering the negative effect of lower parenting alliance on unsupportive emotion socialization. Based on Belsky's process of parenting model, we incorporate maternal psychopathology, emotion regulation, and perceived parenting alliance into one model of influencing maternal emotion socialization and highlight the unique role of emotion regulation.
本研究的目的是调查潜在的多因素如何影响母亲的情感社会化。本研究涉及300名讲日语的已婚母亲，她们的孩子年龄在2至5岁之间，这些母亲回答了一系列关于情感社会化（指导、忽视、功能失调和不参与）、情绪调节策略（重新评价和表达抑制）、精神病理学（焦虑和抑郁）以及与伴侣的育儿联盟感知的测量。（a）分层多元回归分析表明，母亲的焦虑和抑郁之间存在不同的影响，即较高水平的抑郁与较少的指导相关，较高水平的焦虑与较多的忽视和功能失调相关。（b）此外，即使在控制精神病理学的情况下，母亲的情绪调节也很显著，其中重新评价与指导有显著的正相关，相反，表达抑制与指导有显著的负相关，与不参与、忽视和功能失调有正相关。（c）此外，调节分析表明，更多地使用重新评价与更多的指导相关，并且这种关系在较低水平的育儿联盟中最强。同样，只有当育儿联盟较低时，更多地使用重新评价才与较少的功能失调相关。重新评价可能有效地促进支持性的情感社会化，并缓冲较低的育儿联盟对非支持性情感社会化的负面影响。基于贝尔斯基的育儿模型过程，我们将母亲的精神病理学、情绪调节和育儿联盟感知纳入一个影响母亲情感社会化的模型中，并突出情绪调节的独特作用。
