Many parents use screens to regulate their young children's emotions. We know very little, however, about how this parenting practice is related to the development of emotional competencies (i.e., emotional reactivity, emotion knowledge, and empathy) over time. The current longitudinal study examined bidirectional associations between media emotion regulation and various emotional competencies across a 1-year period during early childhood (between ages 3.5 and 4.5 on average). Participants included 269 child/parent dyads who completed a number of in-home tasks and questionnaires. Results revealed that higher levels of media emotion regulation were associated with worse emotional knowledge and empathy and higher emotional reactivity at the cross-sectional level. However, early media emotion regulation was associated with higher levels of child empathy 1 year later. We discuss these results in the context of general parenting practices and encourage future research on the topic with a focus on how these processes develop over time.

许多家长使用屏幕来调节他们年幼孩子的情绪。然而，我们对于这种育儿做法如何随着时间的推移与情绪能力（即情绪反应性、情绪知识和同理心）的发展相关知之甚少。本纵向研究在幼儿期（平均年龄为 3.5 至 4.5 岁）的 1 年内，考察了媒体情绪调节与各种情绪能力之间的双向关联。参与者包括 269 对儿童/父母二人组，他们完成了多项家庭任务和问卷调查。结果表明，在横向水平上，较高的媒体情绪调节水平与较差的情绪知识和同理心以及较高的情绪反应性相关。然而，早期的媒体情绪调节与儿童同理心水平的提高在 1 年后相关。我们在一般育儿实践的背景下讨论了这些结果，并鼓励未来的研究关注这些过程随着时间的推移如何发展。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
