背景：儿童期焦虑与父母给予自主权和儿童感知控制水平低、儿童情绪反应性升高以及儿童情绪调节缺陷有关。在幼儿期，父母给予的自主权水平较低被认为会降低孩子的控制感，进而导致孩子负面情绪的增加。在发展的后期，感知控制可能会成为一种更稳定的、类似特质的特征，放大父母给予自主权与孩子负面情绪之间的关系。本研究的目的是测试将父母自主权授予和儿童感知控制与焦虑青少年的儿童情绪反应和情绪调节联系起来的中介和调节模型。方法：在开始治疗前对临床焦虑青少年 (N = 106) 及其主要照顾者进行评估。孩子们接受了结构化的诊断访谈，并参与了亲子互动任务，该任务的行为编码是为了授予父母自主权。孩子们完成了生态瞬时评估方案，在此期间他们报告了感知控制、情绪反应（焦虑和生理唤醒）以及针对日常负面生活事件使用的情绪调节策略。结果：父母给予自主权与儿童情绪反应和情绪调节策略使用之间的关系受到儿童感知控制的调节：自我报告的生理反应水平最高，对负面事件的接受程度最低，发生在感知控制低的儿童和父母给予自主权高的儿童中。没有找到中介模型的证据。此外，儿童对负面生活事件的感知控制与较少的焦虑反应以及更多地使用解决问题和认知重组作为情绪调节策略有关。结论：父母给予自主权和孩子感知控制在临床焦虑儿童的日常情绪体验中都发挥着重要作用。
Background: Childhood anxiety is associated with low levels of parental autonomy granting and child perceived control, elevated child emotional reactivity and deficits in child emotion regulation. In early childhood, low levels of parental autonomy granting are thought to decrease child perceived control, which in turn leads to increases in child negative emotion. Later in development, perceived control may become a more stable, trait-like characteristic that amplifies the relationship between parental autonomy granting and child negative emotion. The purpose of this study was to test mediation and moderation models linking parental autonomy granting and child perceived control with child emotional reactivity and emotion regulation in anxious youth. Methods: Clinically anxious youth (N = 106) and their primary caregivers were assessed prior to beginning treatment. Children were administered a structured diagnostic interview and participated in a parent-child interaction task that was behaviorally coded for parental autonomy granting. Children completed an ecological momentary assessment protocol during which they reported on perceived control, emotional reactivity (anxiety and physiological arousal) and emotion regulation strategy use in response to daily negative life events. Results: The relationship between parental autonomy granting and both child emotional reactivity and emotion regulation strategy use was moderated by child perceived control: the highest levels of self-reported physiological responding and the lowest levels of acceptance in response to negative events occurred in children low in perceived control with parents high in autonomy granting. Evidence for a mediational model was not found. In addition, child perceived control over negative life events was related to less anxious reactivity and greater use of both problem solving and cognitive restructuring as emotion regulation strategies. Conclusion: Both parental autonomy granting and child perceived control play important roles in the everyday emotional experience of clinically anxious children.
