表达情绪（EE），家庭情绪气候的措施，预测随后的调整与精神障碍的成年人（Leff & Vaughn，1985）。尽管家庭在儿童期疾病中的重要性得到了公认，但关于青少年和学龄儿童表达情感的研究相对较少，几乎没有一项研究关注学龄前儿童。本研究利用五分钟语音样本（FMSS），以探讨如何表达情绪涉及同时和纵向的儿童问题的状态，在社区样本的112学龄前儿童。在学龄前，高EE的比例在三个儿童组中显著增加：比较（8.1%），边缘问题（15.8%）和高问题（41.2%）;然而，学龄前EE并不能预测随后的一年级儿童状态。扩展的FMSS代码，挖掘积极的影响和担心的孩子，也与儿童问题组在学前班，并预测随后的儿童状态在一年级。由于父母的压力和调整也高度相关的儿童问题组的地位，我们研究是否FMSS代码基本上是这些代理或他们是否解释了独特的方差。在两个逐步回归学龄前儿童组的地位（除以总的问题和外化问题），母亲的压力是唯一的变量进入。此外，在预测一年级外化儿童组的地位，只有母亲的压力进入。讨论的重点是扩展EE结构和其他FMSS编码幼儿，并需要认识到，在某种程度上，这些变量可能反映母亲的压力和调整。
Expressed Emotion (EE), a measure of the emotional climate of the family, predicts subsequent adjustment of adults with mental disorder (Leff & Vaughn, 1985). Despite the acknowledged importance of the family in childhood disorders, there have been relatively few studies of expressed emotion with adolescents and school-aged children and virtually none focused on preschoolers. The present study utilized the Five Minute Speech Sample (FMSS) to examine how Expressed Emotion relates concurrently and longitudinally to child problem status in a community sample of 112 preschool-aged children. At preschool, the proportion of high EE increased significantly across three child groups : Comparison (8.1 %), Borderline Problem (15.8 %), and High Problem (41.2 %); however, preschool EE was not predictive of subsequent child status at Ist grade. Expanded FMSS codes, tapping positive affect and worry about the child, were also related to child problem group at preschool and were predictive of subsequent child status at Ist grade. Because parents' stress and adjustment were also highly related to child problem group status, we examined whether the FMSS codes were essentially a proxy for these or whether they explained unique variance. In two stepwise regressions on preschool child group status (divided by total problems and by externalizing problems), maternal stress was the only variable to enter. Also, in predicting to Ist grade externalizing child group status, only maternal stress entered. Discussion focused on the extension of the EE construct and other FMSS coding to young children, and the need to recognize that to some extent these variables may reflect maternal stress and adjustment.
