Existing literature has documented that parenting links to children's hostile attribution biases (HAB). However, little is known about the role played by parental emotion socialization in children's HAB. To address this research gap, the present study investigated the role of parental responses to children's negative emotions (PRCNE) in predicting adolescents' HAB using a longitudinal study. Adolescents (N = 203; M = 13.61 years old at Time 1), who were recruited from a city in mainland China, reported on their mothers' PRCNE and their own HAB at two waves over a year. The results showed that mothers' supportive responses (composed of emotion-focused responses and problem-focused responses) significantly predicted adolescents' reduced HAB over time; however, PRCNE including expressive encouragement, minimization, and nonsupportive responses (composed of punitive responses and parental distress) had no significant relation with adolescents' HAB. These findings add to the existing literature investigating antecedents to adolescents' social information processing deficits and biases.
现有文献证明，父母教养与儿童的敌对归因偏见（HAB）有关。然而，父母情绪社会化在儿童 HAB 中的作用知之甚少。为了解决这一研究空白，本研究采用纵向研究调查了父母对儿童负面情绪的反应（PRCNE）在预测青少年 HAB 中的作用。青少年（N=203；第一次测量时的平均年龄为 13.61 岁）从中国大陆的一个城市招募，他们在一年的两个时间点上报告了母亲的 PRCNE 和自己的 HAB。结果表明，母亲的支持性反应（由情绪聚焦反应和问题聚焦反应组成）显著预测了青少年 HAB 的随时间减少；然而，包括表达鼓励、最小化和不支持反应（由惩罚反应和父母痛苦组成）的 PRCNE 与青少年的 HAB 没有显著关系。这些发现增加了关于青少年社会信息处理缺陷和偏差的先验因素的现有文献。
