요약 | Despite the important role of mothers' emotion regulation as a component of parenting, and the evidence for bidirectional effects in parent-child relationships, there is a dearth of literature that has examined how difficult child behaviors may impact mothers' emotion dysregulation over time. The purpose of the current study was to examine the paths by which child behavior and maternal emotion dysregulation influence each other, the role of parenting stress in this relationship, and how child behavior and maternal emotion dysregulation interact to predict parenting quality. Participants were 40 dyads of mothers and their children (aged 3-4 at time 1 and 5-6 at time 2). The current study employed a multimethod approach that utilized both self-report and observational data. Cross-lagged path models examined the direction and magnitude of effects between child behavior problems and maternal emotion dysregulation over time, and the relationship between parenting stress and maternal emotion dysregulation. Moderation analyses examined how child behavior and maternal emotion dysregulation interact to predict maternal negativity and supportiveness.Maternal emotion dysregulation was predictive of child internalizing and externalizing behaviors, but not noncompliance or emotion dysregulation. Bidirectional effects were not supported as child behavior did not significantly predict maternal emotion dysregulation. Parenting stress was predictive of higher levels of maternal emotion dysregulation. Maternal emotion dysregulation moderated the relationship between child internalizing and externalizing behaviors when children were aged 3-4 and maternal negativity two years later, such that the relationship between difficult child behavior and poor parenting was more pronounced for mothers who reported higher levels of emotion dysregulation.Findings of this study demonstrate that maternal emotion dysregulation may negatively impact both child behavior and parenting. Parenting stress is indicated as a potential risk factor for increased maternal emotion dysregulation. Mothers who struggle with emotion dysregulation may constitute a population that is especially vulnerable to engaging in negative parenting in response to difficult behavior in their children. Findings highlight the importance of focusing on improving parental emotion regulation in parenting interventions, assessing for and addressing the role of parenting stress, and increasing the effectiveness of mental health practitioners in serving adult clients who are parents. |
