摘要
通过对341名学前儿童进行问卷调查和任务测查,考察了父亲情绪表达、儿童气质与儿童社会适应的关系。结果表明:(1)父亲积极情绪表达对儿童社会能力有正向预测作用;父亲消极情绪表达对儿童社会能力具有负向预测作用,而对外显、内隐行为问题有正向预测作用。(2)儿童的积极情绪性对其外显行为问题与社会能力均有显著正向预测作用;消极情绪性对其社会能力有负向预测作用,而对其外显行为问题有正向预测作用;儿童的努力控制对其外显行为问题有较强地负向预测作用,对其社会能力具有正向预测作用。(3)父亲情绪表达与儿童努力控制、消极情绪性对儿童社会适应有显著交互作用,父亲情绪表达对不同气质特点儿童的社会适应具有不同的预测作用。
Social adjustment is an important developmental task of preschoolers. Both children＇s temperament and proximal parental emotion-related behaviors are important influential factors of social adjustment. Although lots of research has implicated that maternal emotion-related behaviors and children＇s temperament are associated with children＇s adjustment,few research has examined the relation between paternal emotional expressivity and children＇s social adjustment. Moreover,little attention is paid to paternal emotional expressivity and children＇s emotionality and effortful control simultaneously in Chinese culture background. Chinese emphasize the ability of emotion control more in order to maintain harmonious relationship with others. The current study explored relations among paternal emotional expressivity,children＇s emotionality and effortful control and social adjustment. Three hundred and forty-one children aged 3-6 and their parents and teachers participated in the study. Children＇s emotionality and effortful control were assessed on Children＇s Behavior Questionnaire by mothers,and effortful control was also measured through stroop task by research assistants. Children＇s behavior problem and social competence were rated by mothers and teachers on Early School Behavior Rating Scale respectively;children＇s fathers reported their own emotional expressivity on Self-Expressiveness in the Family Questionnaire. Multiple Regression linear analyses indicated：（1） Paternal positive expressivity positively predicted children＇s social competence;paternal negative emotional expressivity positively predicted children＇s externalizing and internalizing problems and negatively predicted children＇s social competence;（2） Children＇s positive emotionality positively predicted social competence,negatively predicted externalizing problems,while negative emotionality positively predicted externalizing and internalizing problems,negatively predicted social competence;effortful control negatively predicted externalizing and internalizing problems,positively predicted social competence;（3） Paternal emotional expressivity interacted with children＇s temperament to influence children＇s social adjustment,which implied that children＇s temperament moderated the relation between paternal expressivity and children＇s social adjustment. Further analysis indicated that for children high in effortful control,paternal negative emotional expressivity were negatively associated with children＇s externalizing problem behavior,while for children low in effortful control,paternal negative emotional expressivity were positively associated with their externalizing problems. Among children high in negative emotionality,paternal negative emotional expressivity was positively associated with internalizing problems,and paternal positive emotional expressivity was positively associated with children＇s social competence,while for children low in negative emotionality,paternal negative emotionality expressivity was not significantly associated with internalizing problems,and paternal positive emotional expressivity was also not significantly associated with children＇s social competence. These results indicate that parental emotional expressivity influence children with different dispositional characteristics differently. Temperament conveys its influence in interaction with the demands of the environment,including parental emotional expressivity.
