Project Summary: Effective parenting is a critical contributor to child development, and it depends in part on parents’ own ability to manage competing priorities, responding to their own goals and emotions while meeting their child’s needs. Negotiating this balance requires effective emotion regulation (ER), a transdiagnostic factor that predicts a host of mental health and social domains of functioning for adults, including parenting. Parental ER difficulties undermine effective discipline and emotionally responsive interactions with children, and subsequently predict children’s own emotion dysregulation and related developmental outcomes. Accordingly, parenting interventions are increasingly targeting parent ER as a mechanism to improve treatment outcomes, but these efforts require valid and specific measurement of ER in the parenting context. Presently, the measurement of ER among parents is limited to general adult self-report measures that do not have specific applicability to ER demands in the parenting context. The goal of this project is to refine and validate a novel, brief self-report measure of parent ER, the Regulating Emotions in Parenting Scale (REPS). This proposed project innovates the measurement of parental ER by focusing specifically on situations in which parents regulate their emotions during interactions with their children. Building on promising preliminary data, we will first employ focus interviews to refine item content, then collect data from a diverse national sample (N = 1500) of parents with children ages 6 to 16. Aim 1 is to establish REPS factor structure and measurement invariance by race/ethnicity and gender. Aim 2 will establish construct validity by testing correlations with related constructs. We will then explore an extension of the REPS to include both self and co-parent reports in a dyadic sample comprising marital/partnered and intergenerational co-parents. We will use this data to explore partner-report methods, in comparison to self- reports, as predictors of parenting behavior and other outcomes, such as co-parenting alliance. This R21 will contribute to both developmental and intervention research by creating a psychometrically robust measure of parent ER, which is an important predictor of parenting behavior and child outcomes that can exacerbate or buffer risk for maladaptation. In addition to developmental research, we anticipate that this measure can also be used for clinical screening and treatment outcome measurement in intervention and prevention efforts targeting parents and children. This proposed project is consistent with the R21 mechanism, by developing a novel measure and methodology that could have a major impact on parenting research and ultimately support the health and well-being of children.

项目概要： 有效的养育是儿童发展的关键因素，它部分取决于父母自己的能力， 管理竞争的优先事项，响应自己的目标和情绪，同时满足孩子的需求。 这种平衡需要有效的情绪调节（ER），这是一种预测宿主 心理健康和成年人的社会功能领域，包括养育子女。父母急诊室困难 破坏有效的纪律和与儿童的情感反应互动，并随后预测 儿童自身的情绪失调和相关的发展结果。因此，育儿干预措施 越来越多地将母体ER作为改善治疗结果的机制，但这些努力需要 有效和具体的测量ER在养育环境。目前，ER的测量， 父母仅限于一般成人自我报告的措施，没有具体适用于ER的要求， 父母的背景。这个项目的目标是完善和验证一个新的，简短的自我报告措施的父母 情绪调节量表（Regulating Emotions in Parenting Scale，REPS）该项目创新了测量 父母的ER通过特别关注父母在互动过程中调节情绪的情况 和他们的孩子一起在有希望的初步数据的基础上，我们将首先采用焦点访谈来细化项目 内容，然后从不同的国家样本（N = 1500）的父母与6至16岁的孩子收集数据。目的 1是建立REPS因素结构和测量不变性的种族/民族和性别。目标2将 通过检验与相关结构的相关性来建立结构效度。然后我们将探索 REPS将自我和共同父母报告纳入一个二元样本中，该样本包括婚姻/伴侣， 隔代同堂的父母我们将使用这些数据来探索合作伙伴报告方法，与自我报告方法进行比较， 报告，作为育儿行为和其他结果的预测因素，如共同育儿联盟。R21将 通过创建一个心理测量的强大措施，为发展和干预研究做出贡献。 父母ER，这是一个重要的预测养育行为和儿童的结果，可以加剧或 缓冲适应不良的风险。除了发展研究，我们预计这项措施也可以 用于干预和预防工作中的临床筛查和治疗结果测量 父母和孩子该项目与R21机制一致，通过开发一种新的 措施和方法，可能对育儿研究产生重大影响，并最终支持 儿童的健康和福祉。
