通过对425名中国学龄儿童的两波纵向研究，探讨了父母对儿童负性情绪的五种反应类型与儿童心理适应（行为问题和社会能力）之间的前瞻性关系。父母（主要是母亲）报告了自己的PRCNE。家长、老师、孩子或同龄人报告了孩子的适应情况。父母的惩罚反应正向预测外化问题（控制基线），而情绪和问题焦点反应与内化问题负相关。父母减少和鼓励情绪表达与适应无关。PRCNE与父母权威型和权威型教养维度存在并行关系。然而，PRCNE并没有唯一地预测控制全球养育维度的调整。本研究结果对华裔家庭以父母为中心的干预的文化适应具有启示意义。
The prospective relations between five types of parental reactions to children's negative emotions (PRCNE) and children's psychological adjustment (behavioral problems and social competence) were examined in a two-wave longitudinal study of 425 school-age children in China. Parents (mostly mothers) reported their own PRCNE. Parents, teachers, and children or peers reported on children's adjustment. Parental punitive reactions positively predicted externalizing problems (controlling for baseline), whereas emotion- and problem-focused reactions were negatively related to internalizing problems. Parental minimizing and encouragement of emotion expression were unrelated to adjustment. Concurrent relations were found between PRCNE and parents' authoritative and authoritarian parenting dimensions. However, PRCNE did, not uniquely predict adjustment controlling for global parenting dimensions. The findings have implications for cultural adaptation of parent-focused interventions for families of Chinese origin.
