采用3-5年级(n=89)母亲和儿童社区样本的横断面和纵向数据，检验了情绪性和自我调节在预测儿童适应问题和积极适应方面的联合效应。在情绪性和自我调节与适应的关联中的特异性被检验。情绪性和自我调节能力都预示着儿童对对方的适应控制。易怒与较高的内化和外化问题以及较低的社交能力有关；积极的情绪预示较高的幸福感和社交能力。注意调节与较低的抑郁、较高的社交能力和幸福感相关；抑制性控制与较低的内化和外化问题以及较高的社交能力相关。在考虑了其他情绪性和自我调节变量后，冲动与适应无关。这些发现支持情绪性和自我调节的不同维度，以及它们对儿童适应的独特贡献。(C)2003 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
The combined effects of emotionality and self-regulation in predicting child adjustment problems and positive adjustment were examined using cross-sectional and longitudinal data from a community sample of mothers and children grades 3-5 (n = 89). Specificity in the associations of emotionality and self-regulation with adjustment was examined. Emotionality and self-regulation each predicted children's adjustment controlling for the other. Irritability was related to higher internalizing and externalizing problems and lower social competence; positive emotionality predicted higher wellbeing and social competence. Attention regulation was related to lower depression and higher social competence and well-being; inhibitory control was related to lower internalizing and externalizing problems and higher social competence. Impulsivity was unrelated to adjustment after the other emotionality and self-regulation variables were accounted. The findings support separate dimensions of emotionality and self-regulation and their unique contributions to child adjustment. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
