Parent self-regulation is multifaceted, involving emotional, cognitive, and biological processes that support or constrain parenting behavior. It is highly relevant to disciplinary contexts in which parents' regulatory difficulties can contribute to harsh discipline, which is linked to children's maladjustment. In this article, we address why parents' self-regulation is an essential focus for basic and applied research on parental discipline. We emphasize the need to 1) incorporate and test multiple domains of parent self-regulation to understand their respective and interactive contributions and 2) understand how parent self-regulation interfaces with parent-child coregulation in delineating mechanistic pathways of the effects of harsh discipline on children's adjustment. These foci will more fully inform the etiology of children's maladjustment related to harsh discipline and knowledge regarding specific, malleable intervention targets aimed at reducing harsh discipline.
父母的自我调节是多方面的，涉及支持或限制养育行为的情感、认知和生物过程。这与管教情境高度相关，在这种情境中，父母的调节困难可能导致严厉管教，而严厉管教与孩子的适应不良有关。在本文中，我们阐述了为什么父母的自我调节是父母管教基础研究和应用研究的一个重要焦点。我们强调需要：1）纳入并测试父母自我调节的多个领域，以了解它们各自的和交互的作用；2）理解父母的自我调节如何与亲子共同调节相互作用，从而勾勒出严厉管教对孩子适应产生影响的机制途径。这些重点将更全面地揭示与严厉管教相关的孩子适应不良的病因，以及有关旨在减少严厉管教的具体、可改变的干预目标的知识。
