Abstract

Objective To explore the relationship between parental meta-emotion philosophy and family rearing environment in infants and toddlers, in order to provide guidance for building a positive family rearing environment. Methods The Parental Meta-Emotion Philosophy Scale was used to measure parents' social emotions. Family rearing environment of infants was investigated by combining demographic data and Family Rearing Environment Scale. Independent sample t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, Spearman correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression were utilized to analyze the relationship between parental meta-emotion philosophy and the family rearing environment. Results A total of 370 infant caregivers were included in the study. The average age of infants was (27.81±7.76) months, with 192 boys (51.9%) and 178 girls (48.1%). Parents' education level (F=4.71), whether they were the only child or not (t=8.85), whether the infant attended nursery or not (t=-2.49), and the per capita monthly income of the family (F=4.77) showed statistical significance in relation to the differences observed among the family rearing environments of infants and toddlers (P＜0.05). Multivariate analysis indicated that the emotional teaching dimension of parental meta-emotion philosophy had a positive predictive effect on the overall level of the infant's family rearing environment (β=0.50, 95%CI:1.11 - 1.59), while the emotional loss dimension had a negative predictive effect (β=-0.15, 95%CI:-0.85 - -0.07). Conclusion The parental meta-emotion philosophy is closely related to the family rearing environment and serves as an important factor influencing it. It is supposed to improve parents' emotional literacy and enrich their knowledge of parental meta-emotion philosophy, so as to help build a positive family rearing environment.
