最近的研究表明，执行功能，特别是工作记忆，可能有助于情绪调节（ER）。在这里，我们检查了一组新妈妈的视觉空间工作记忆和语言工作记忆测量是否与 ER 相关。我们发现，虽然视觉空间工作记忆与自我报告的 ER 测量和情绪失调相关并可预测，但语言工作记忆仅与情绪失调的一个维度相关。这些发现表明工作记忆可能在日常调节功能中发挥独特的作用。我们根据对执行功能在养育子女中的潜在作用可能产生的更广泛影响来构建我们的结果。
Recent work suggests that executive functions, specifically working memory, may facilitate emotion regulation (ER). Here we examined whether measures of visuospatial working memory and verbal working memory relate to ER in a group of recent mothers. We found that while visuospatial working memory was associated with, and predictive of, self-reported measures of ER and emotion dysregulationverbal working memory was correlated to only one dimension of emotion dysregulation. These findings suggest that working memory may play a unique role in everyday regulatory functioning. We frame our results in terms of the broader implications they may have for the potential role of executive functioning in parenting.
