Emotionality and self-regulation are crucial for positive development, especially during early adolescence when youths experience normative increases in behavioral problems and declines in prosociality. Using Latent Profile Analysis (LPA-a person-oriented technique to identify patterns of functioning individuals), we identified youths' profiles based on dimensions of mother-reported negative emotionality (NE; anger/frustration, sadness/depressive mood), and Effortful Control (EC; attentional, activation and inhibitory control) and examined concurrent associations with self- and mother-reported aggressive and prosocial behaviors. We included a cross-national sample of 530 youths ( 11.43; 49% males) from Colombia (17%), Italy (36%), and United States (47%). We identified four profiles: Adjusted (38%; low NE; high EC)-lowest aggression, highest prosociality; Average (34%; average NE and EC)-average aggression and prosociality; Emotional-regulated (20%; high NE; average EC)-average aggression and high prosociality; and Emotional-dysregulated (8%; high NE; low EC)-highest aggression, low prosociality. We highlight associations of different emotion-regulation patterns with specific behavioral responses in early adolescence.
情绪性和自我调节对积极发展至关重要，尤其是在青春期早期，此时青少年的行为问题会出现正常增加，亲社会行为则会减少。我们使用潜在剖面分析（一种基于个体功能模式识别的以人为本的技术），根据母亲报告的消极情绪（NE；愤怒/沮丧、悲伤/抑郁情绪）和努力控制（EC；注意力、激活和抑制控制）维度确定青少年的剖面，并检验其与自我报告和母亲报告的攻击性行为和亲社会行为的同时关联。我们纳入了来自哥伦比亚（17%）、意大利（36%）和美国（47%）的530名青少年（平均年龄11.43岁；49%为男性）的跨国样本。我们确定了四种剖面：适应良好型（38%；低NE；高EC）——攻击性最低，亲社会行为最高；平均型（34%；NE和EC平均）——攻击性和亲社会行为均为平均水平；情绪调节型（20%；高NE；平均EC）——攻击性平均，亲社会行为高；以及情绪失调型（8%；高NE；低EC）——攻击性最高，亲社会行为低。我们强调了青春期早期不同情绪调节模式与特定行为反应之间的关联。
