Drawing on ecosystem theory, which is based on the interaction of family environment, individual characteristics, and social adaptation, this study aimed to examine the effects of parenting style on emotion management skills and the mediating roles of self-control and peer interactions among Chinese children aged 3-6 years. Some studies have investigated the relationship between parenting style and emotion management skills. However, research on the underlying mechanisms is still deficient. A sample of 2,303 Chinese children completed the PSDQ-Short Version, the Self-Control Teacher Rating Questionnaire, the Peer Interaction Skills Scale, and the Emotion Management Skills Questionnaire. The results show that: (1) Authoritarian parenting style negatively predicted children's emotion management skills, self-control, and peer interactions; (2) Authoritative parenting style positively predicted children's emotion management skills, self-control, and peer interactions; (3) Structural equation models indicated that self-control and peer interactions partially mediated the effects of authoritarian and authoritative parenting styles. The parenting style of Chinese children aged 3-6 years is related to emotion management skills, and self-control and peer interactions have chain mediating effects between parenting style and children's emotion management skills. These results provide further guidance for the prevention and intervention of emotional and mental health problems in children.
本研究借鉴基于家庭环境、个体特征和社会适应相互作用的生态系统理论，旨在探讨养育方式对3至6岁中国儿童情绪管理技能的影响，以及自我控制和同伴互动在其中的中介作用。一些研究已经调查了养育方式与情绪管理技能之间的关系。然而，对其潜在机制的研究仍然不足。2303名中国儿童参与了研究，他们完成了《父母教养方式简短问卷》、《自我控制教师评定问卷》、《同伴互动技能量表》和《情绪管理技能问卷》。结果表明：（1）专制型养育方式对儿童的情绪管理技能、自我控制和同伴互动有负面预测作用；（2）权威型养育方式对儿童的情绪管理技能、自我控制和同伴互动有正面预测作用；（3）结构方程模型表明，自我控制和同伴互动部分中介了专制型和权威型养育方式的影响。3至6岁中国儿童的养育方式与情绪管理技能有关，自我控制和同伴互动在养育方式和儿童情绪管理技能之间具有连锁中介作用。这些结果为儿童情绪和心理健康问题的预防和干预提供了进一步的指导。
