Abstract

Objective To explore the intergenerational transmission of emotion regulation strategy and the mediating role of family home reading and mother-child intimacy in that transmission, so as to provide reference for improving children's emotion regulation ability. Methods In December 2021, mothers of 398 children aged 3 to 6 years were recruited to participate in this study to complete Parental Emotion Regulation Strategy Questionnaire, Family Home Reading Scale, Parent-Child Relationship Scale and Preschoolers Emotion Regulation Strategy Scale. SPSS 26.0 was used to analyze the relationship among the variables and AMOS 26.0 was used to establish structural equation model, to investigate the effects of mothers' cognitive reappraisal emotion regulation strategy on children's positive emotion regulation strategy and the multiple mediating effects of family reading and mother-child intimacy. Results 1) Children whose mothers have a bachelor degree or above had better abilities of solving problems than those whose mothers graduated from technical secondary school(F=5.37,P<0.01). 2) Mother's cognitive reappraisal emotion regulation strategy was positively correlated with children's positive emotion regulation strategies, family home reading and mother-child intimacy(r=0.150 - 0.348, P<0.05); family home reading was positively correlated with children's positive emotion regulation strategies and mother-child intimacy(r=0.151 - 0.279, P<0.01); mother-child intimacy was positively correlated with children's cognitive restructuring and alternative activities positive emotion regulation strategies (r=0.219,0.200, P<0.01). 3) Mother's positive emotion regulation strategy significantly predicted children's positive emotion regulation strategies (β=0.32, t=5.73, P<0.01). Family home reading and mother-child intimacy played mediating roles in the intergenerational transmission of emotion regulation strategy, and the mediation effects were 4.37% and 12.34%,respectively; meanwhile, the chain mediating effect formed by the two was 1.03%. Conclusion Maternal cognitive reappraisal emotion regulation strategy is an important influencing factor of children's positive emotion regulation strategy, family home reading and mother-child intimacy have chain mediating effects in their association.
