Mothers are not only the axis of an ecological subsystem for their children but are also capable of creating a significant emotional and psychological environment through constant and direct interaction. This leads to interactions and emotional connections with the children, supportive behaviors, and a long-term commitment to their upbringing and development. This study examined the relationship between maternal emotional intelligence (EI) and demographics on the availability of motor affordances in the home environment that are conducive to their child's motor development. Mothers ( = 451) and homes of children aged 18-42 months were assessed using the Persian version of Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Self-Report (AHEMD-SR) and the Bar-On Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire. In addition, mothers' physical activity (PA) experience and demographic data were collected. Analyses indicated significant correlations between mothers' education, level of PA, and income with EI and motor affordances. EI, PA experience, and select mother demographics were important to the availability of motor affordances in the home. One could also speculate, based on previous research, that such provision may affect the future motor development of the child. Future research should include a younger and more diverse population.
母亲不仅是孩子生态子系统的核心，还能够通过持续且直接的互动营造重要的情感和心理环境。这会引发与孩子的互动和情感联系、支持性行为，以及对其养育和发展的长期投入。本研究考察了母亲的情商（EI）和人口统计学特征与家庭环境中有利于孩子运动发展的运动可供性之间的关系。使用波斯语版的《家庭环境中运动发展的可供性——自我报告》（AHEMD-SR）和巴昂情商量表对451名母亲以及18至42个月大孩子的家庭进行了评估。此外，还收集了母亲的身体活动（PA）经历和人口统计学数据。分析表明，母亲的教育程度、PA水平和收入与EI及运动可供性之间存在显著相关性。EI、PA经历以及部分母亲的人口统计学特征对家庭中运动可供性的存在很重要。根据以往研究也可以推测，这种条件可能会影响孩子未来的运动发展。未来的研究应纳入更年轻、更多样化的人群。
