ABSTRACT

This study examined the sequential mediating effects of parents ’ positive emotional expressiveness and positive parenting behaviors on the association between par ents’ cognitive emotion regulation strategies and emotional and behavioral problems in elementary school children. To this end, an online self-report survey was administered to parents of elementary sc hool children to assess their adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies, positive emotional exp ressiveness, positive parenting behaviors, and children’s emotional and behavioral problems. Using Hayes’ (2018) PROCESS Macro Model 6, the results indicated that the sequential mediation of positive emo tional expressiveness and positive parenting behaviors in the relationship between parents’ adapti ve cognitive emotion regulation strategies and their children’s emotional and behavioral proble ms was statistically significant. These findings empirically support a process linking parents’ cogniti ve emotion regulation strategies to emotional expressiveness and parenting behaviors, suggesting th at cognitive, emotional, and behavioral interventions that enhance parents’ cognitive emotion regulatio n strategies and promote positive emotional expressiveness and parenting behaviors in parental education and counseling settings may help alleviate or prevent children’s emotional and behavioral p roblems
