Father involvement, defined in terms of both the quantity and quality of ways in which fathers may be involved, affects the child's development. How specifically father involvement links to emotion regulation during early childhood (0-5 years) is, however, less clear.
This literature review synthesizes research on the links between father involvement and emotion regulation during early childhood, as well as the measurement methods used to assess them. Ten relevant studies were identified via four databases (up to August 2023).
Results showed no significant direct links, but significant links appeared between high father involvement and more adaptive emotion regulation when moderated by variables related to the assessment of father involvement and emotion regulation, as well as the characteristics of the father and the child.
Future research should continue to use observational measures of father behaviors and child emotion regulation, increase the use of physiological measures of emotion regulation, and consider the influence of maternal and family variables.
父亲的参与度,无论是从父亲参与的数量还是质量方面来定义,都会影响孩子的发展。然而,父亲的参与度如何具体与儿童早期(0-5 岁)的情绪调节联系起来,目前还不太清楚。
本文献综述综合了关于父亲参与度和儿童早期情绪调节之间联系的研究,以及用于评估这些联系的测量方法。通过四个数据库(截至 2023 年 8 月)确定了 10 项相关研究。
结果显示,两者之间没有显著的直接联系,但当以与父亲参与度和情绪调节评估相关的变量,以及父亲和孩子的特征为调节变量时,高父亲参与度与更适应的情绪调节之间存在显著联系。
未来的研究应继续使用观察性的父亲行为和儿童情绪调节措施,增加对情绪调节的生理测量的使用,并考虑母亲和家庭变量的影响。
