情绪意识支持情绪调节。心理学家让孩子们通过“感受颜色”来评估情绪意识，但这是否与情绪调节有关尚不清楚。本研究使用一种新颖的着色任务来检查与着色和口述情绪相关的行为，以评估儿童 (N= 95) 的情绪意识。此外，还测试了这项任务的表现是否可以预测情绪调节。儿童的着色行为表明生理情绪意识预示着更好的情绪调节。结果可以为社区和临床环境中情绪意识任务的使用提供参考。研究结果还表明，生理情绪意识可能是儿童更重要的临床目标。
Emotional awareness supports emotion regulation. Psychologists have children “color in feelings” to assess emotional awareness, yet whether this relates to emotion regulation is unknown. The present study used a novel coloring task examining behaviors related to coloring in and dictating emotions to assess children’s (N= 95) emotional awareness. Furthermore, it was tested whether performance on this task predicted emotion regulation. Children’s coloring behaviors indicating physiological emotional awareness predicted better emotion regulation. Results may inform the use of emotional awareness tasks in community and clinical settings. Findings also suggest that physiological emotional awareness may be a more salient clinical target in children.
