本研究的目的是探讨儿童的情绪和行为调节（如指数的心率变异性和应对方式），他们的情绪和亲社会的调节（如指数的心率变异性和应对方式），他们的情绪和亲社会的反应哭泣的婴儿的关系。幼儿园和二年级儿童的替代情绪反应（例如，面部反应和心率斜率）和安慰行为，而孩子们听到一个哭泣的婴儿。这些孩子的母亲完成了一项旨在评估他们的孩子在面对他人痛苦时的应对反应的措施。研究发现，那些能够调节自己的唤醒（根据心率变化评估）并且在暴露于他人的需要状态和条件时通常做出工具性反应的儿童相对不太可能感到沮丧，并且相对可能与哭泣的婴儿交谈并安慰他们。与男孩相比，女孩被发现对哭泣的婴儿更敏感，并且据报道，当暴露于他人的痛苦时，女孩会做出更直接，更积极的应对反应。结果进行了讨论，在人际关系中的情绪调节和应对的研究。
The purpose of the present study was to examine the relations of children's emotional and behavioral regulation (as indexed by heart rate variability and coping styles) to their emotional and prosocial regulation (as indexed by heart rate variability and coping styles) to their emotional and prosocial responses to a crying infant. Kindergarten and second-grade children's vicarious emotional responses (e.g., facial reactions and heart rate slope) and comforting behaviors were recorded while children heard a crying infant. The mothers of these children completed a measure designed to assess their children's coping responses when exposed to others in distress. It was found that children who were able to regulate their arousal (as assessed with heart rate variance) and typically responded instrumentally when exposed to others' needy states and conditions were relatively unlikely to become distressed and relatively likely to talk to and comfort the crying infant. Compared to boys, girls were found to be more responsive to the crying infant and were reported to engage in more direct, active coping responses when exposed to others in distress. The results are discussed in relation to research on emotion regulation and coping in interpersonal contexts.
