Marital Discord,Parenting and Child Outcomes

超出所提供的空间。本研究将采用生态学的方法来研究家庭中的元情绪过程对儿童中期和青少年早期情绪调节和失调发展轨迹的影响。在童年这一重要的过渡阶段，家庭元情绪结构对健康和精神病理情感发展路径的影响将通过生理和行为情绪调节研究以及父母在情感发展中的作用研究来检验。它将测量与内化和外化行为相关的发展过程中的性别差异。它将评估青春期成熟（包括青春期成熟的时间）在家庭变量和童年结局之间的界面上的作用。这项拟议的研究将观察家庭元情感结构是否能缓冲孩子在这一发展时期的负面结果，也就是孩子们特别脆弱的青春期过渡时期。Weplana4wave，对180个有孩子的家庭进行了多方法研究。当孩子们8岁时，我们将第一次把他们带进实验室。将有90名女生和90名男生作为该项目的目标研究参与者。我们将每年把这些家庭带进实验室，持续4年。检查过程包括对父母和孩子进行实验室检查和家访。我们将结合自然的互动、高度结构化的任务和半结构化的面试。我们将以戈特曼、卡茨和胡文（1997）的方法为基础，研究在家自然发生的元情绪时刻。我们将扩展Gottman等人的工作，通过使用生长曲线分析和数学建模技术来检查儿童适应和不适应情绪调节的发展轨迹。网站性能 ======================================== 节结束 ===========================================

EXCEED THE SPACE PROVIDED. The proposed research will takean ecological approachto examining the influence of meta-emotion processes in the family on the developmental trajectories of emotional regulation and dysregulation in middle childhood and early adolescence. It will drawon physiological and behavioral emotion regulation researchaswell as research on the parental role in emotional developmentto test the impact of meta-emotionstructure in the family on healthy andpsychopathological emotional development paths duringthis important transitional stage of childhood. It will measuregenderdifferences inthe developmental processesassociatedwith internalizing and externalizing behaviors. It will evaluatethe role of pubertal maturation (including timing of pubertal maturation) on the interface betweenfamily variablesand childhood outcomes. The proposed study will see if the familial meta-emotion structure buffers the children from negativeoutcomes during this period of development, the transition to puberty, when children are especially vulnerable. Weplana4wave, multi-method study of 180 families with children. Wewill bring the familiesinto the laboratory for the first timewhen thechildren are 8-years old. There will be90girls and90boys who will serve asthe targetstudyparticipants in the project.We will bringthe familiesinto the laboratoryannually for 4years. Theprocedures involvelaboratory sessionsand home interviewsfor bothparentsandchildren. Wewill use acombination of naturalistic interactions, highly structuredtasks,and semi-structured interviews. Wewill build on Gottman, Katz and Hooven's (1997) methodology by studyingnaturally occurringmeta-emotion moments at home. Wewill extend Gottman et al.'s work byusing growth curve analyses and mathematical modeling techniques to examine the developmental trajectories of adaptive and maladaptive emotionregulationin thechildren.
