부모의 인지적 정서조절 전략과 아동의 정서 . 행동문제의 관계: 부모의 긍정적 정서표현 및 양육행동의 순차 매개효과

초록

This study examined the sequential mediating effects of parents’ positive emotional expressiveness and positive parenting behaviors on the association between parents’ cognitive emotion regulation strategies and emotional and behavioral problems in elementary school children. To this end, an online self-report survey was administered to parents of elementary school children to assess their adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies, positive emotional expressiveness, positive parenting behaviors, and children’s emotional and behavioral problems. Using Hayes’ (2018) PROCESS Macro Model 6, the results indicated that the sequential mediation of positive emotional expressiveness and positive parenting behaviors in the relationship between parents’ adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and their children’s emotional and behavioral problems was statistically significant. These findings empirically support a process linking parents’ cognitive emotion regulation strategies to emotional expressiveness and parenting behaviors, suggesting that cognitive, emotional, and behavioral interventions that enhance parents’ cognitive emotion regulation strategies and promote positive emotional expressiveness and parenting behaviors in parental education and counseling settings may help alleviate or prevent children’s emotional and behavioral problems.
