OBJECTIVE
Although empathy is known to be a strength, recent studies suggest that empathy can be a risk factor for psychopathology under certain conditions in children. This study examines parental mental illness as such a condition. Further, it aims to investigate whether maladaptive emotion regulation (ER) mediates the relationship between empathy and psychopathological symptoms of children.
METHODS
Participants were 100 children of parents with a mental illness (55% female) and 87 children of parents without a mental illness (50% female) aged 6 - 16 years and their parents.
RESULTS
Greater cognitive empathy was related to more psychopathological symptoms in COPMI, but not in COPWMI. In addition, in COPMI maladaptive ER mediated this relationship. In contrast, greater affective empathy was associated with more psychopathological symptoms regardless of whether parents had a mental illness.
CONCLUSION
Our findings highlight the importance of implementing preventive programs for COPMI that specifically target the reduction of maladaptive ER.
目的
尽管共情被认为是一种优势，但最近的研究表明，在某些情况下，共情可能是儿童精神病理学的一个风险因素。本研究将父母患有精神疾病视为这样一种情况进行考察。此外，其旨在调查适应不良的情绪调节（ER）是否介导了共情与儿童精神病理症状之间的关系。
方法
参与者为100名父母患有精神疾病的儿童（55%为女性）和87名父母未患精神疾病的儿童（50%为女性），年龄在6至16岁之间，以及他们的父母。
结果
在父母患有精神疾病的儿童中，更高的认知共情与更多的精神病理症状相关，但在父母未患精神疾病的儿童中并非如此。此外，在父母患有精神疾病的儿童中，适应不良的ER介导了这种关系。相比之下，无论父母是否患有精神疾病，更高的情感共情都与更多的精神病理症状相关。
结论
我们的研究结果凸显了为父母患有精神疾病的儿童实施预防项目的重要性，这些项目应特别针对减少适应不良的ER。
