“…Hence, executive functions imply the voluntary regulation of cognitions and behaviors in a purposeful and non-reactive way (Nozadi et al, 2015). Herewith, executive functions constitute an important cognitive skill, allowing to make adaptive changes in the physical and social environment (see Moriguchi et al, 2012).…”

Children’s Self-Regulation in Cultural Contexts: The Role of Parental Socialization Theories, Goals, and Practices

Self-regulation is a complex multidimensional construct which has been approached mainly in Western cultural contexts. The present contribution examines the importance of considering the culture-sensitive nature of self-regulation by reviewing theory and research on the development of children’s self-regulation in different cultural contexts. This review of theory and research allows to suggest that widely shared values in a cultural group influence parental socialization theories, goals, and practices, which in turn have an impact on how children learn to self-regulate, the forms of self-regulation they develop, and the goals associated with self-regulation. Thus, this article concludes that more specific research is required to relate both the developmental and the cultural aspects of children’s self-regulation.

“…Anger has been associated with externalising problems such as aggression among adolescents (Gambetti & Giusberti, ) and internalising problems such as anxiety among children (Nozadi, Spinrad, Eisenberg, & Eggum‐Wilkens, ). According to American Psychiatric Association (), internalising problems reflect anxiety, depressive and somatic symptoms, whereas externalising problems encompass disorders with impulsive, disruptive conduct and substance use symptoms.…”

“…Empirical evidence has supported that trait anger and anger control are robust predictors of externalising problems (Belgrave, Nguyen, Johnson, & Hood, ; Nozadi et al, ; Park et al, ). For example, examining a sample consisting of two cohorts of fifth graders (mean age = 10.7 years) and eighth graders (mean age = 13.7 years), Sullivan et al () found that youth with difficulty to regulate anger were more likely to engage in physical aggression.…”

The goal of this study was to test the mediating effect of social decision making in the relations of anger and anger control to externalising and internalising problems. A sample of 174 Chinese adolescents (mean age = 15.36 years) completed self-reports of trait anger, anger control, externalising problems, internalising problems and social decision making, which was operationalized as situational judgement reflecting an individual's ability to interact effectively with parents, teachers and peers. Findings indicated that adolescents' trait anger and anger control were positively related to both externalising and internalising problems. In addition, path analysis revealed that social decision making mediated the relationship between trait anger, anger control and externalising problems. Findings on the mediating effect will be discussed by referencing appraisal tendency theory and response evaluation and decision.

“…As for negative emotionality and its relation to behavior problems, previous research has sought to establish different pathways between temperamental characteristics and externalizing/internalizing problems, with anger being more related to externalizing problems (Muris, Meesters, & Blijlevens, 2007;Rydell, Berlin, & Bohlin, 2003), and fear more related to internalizing ones (Muris et al, 2007). However, the findings are contradictory (Nozadi, Spinrad, Eisenberg, & Eggum-Wilkens, 2015;Lemery, Essex, & Smider, 2002), which has led to negative emotionality frequently being used to predicts both externalizing and internalizing problems (Delgado, Carrasco, González-Peña & Holgado-Tello, 2018;Edwards & Hans, 2015;Kochanska & Kim, 2013;Walters, 2014;Wittig & Rodriguez, 2019a;2019b).…”

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el papel mediador del ambiente familiar en la relación entre temperamento difícil y problemas externalizantes/internalizantes en una muestra de 474 niños españoles de entre 6 y 8 años. Un segundo objetivo fue analizar el efecto del género en el patrón de mediación encontrado. Para la medida de los problemas externalizantes/internalizantes, el ajuste marital, las prácticas parentales y el temperamento del niño los padres cumplimentaron la Batería de Socialización (BAS-1), el Test de Ajuste Marital (MAT) y la versión española del Cuestionario de Temperamento en la niñez intermedia (TMCQ). El análisis de mediación probado confirmó el efecto de mediación del ajuste marital y las prácticas parentales de implicación y disciplina en la relación entre temperamento difícil y problemas externalizantes, y el efecto de mediación del ajuste marital y la implicación parental en la relación entre temperamento y difícil y problemas internalizantes. Por otro lado, los resultados apuntaron un patrón de mediación diferente cuando comparamos a niños y niñas. En concreto, encontramos que el efecto de mediación del ajuste marital y la implicación parental fue más fuerte en niños que en niñas. The aim of this work was to analyze the mediating role of family environment in the relationship between difficult temperament and externalizing/internalizing problems in a sample of 474 Spanish children aged between 6 and 8 years. A secondary objective of this work was to analyze the effect of gender in the mediation pattern found. To measure externalizing/internalizing problems, marital adjustment, parenting practices and children’s temperament, the parents were given a Socialization Battery (BAS-1), the Marital Adjustment Test (MAT), the Spanish version of the PCRI (Parent-Child Relationship Inventory), and the Temperament in Middle Childhood Questionnaire (TMCQ). We tested a statistical mediation model that revealed the mediating role of marital adjustment, and the parenting practices of involvement and limit setting, in the relationship between difficult temperament and externalizing problems. We found that marital adjustment and parental involvement mediated the relationship between internalizing problems and difficult temperament. On the other hand, the results pointed to a different mediation pattern when we compared boys and girls. Specifically, we found that the mediating role of marital adjustment and parental involvement in the relationship between difficult temperament and externalizing problems was stronger in boys than in girls.
