“…In line with theories of the development of SP (e.g. Thayer & Lane ; Thompson ; Amstadter ; Jacob et al ), the present finding suggests that impairments in behavioural regulation make it difficult for individuals to self‐regulate and shift attention when presented with a situation that is perceived as threatening. In turn, this difficulty increases the likelihood that an unreasonable or irrational fear of a specific situation or object may develop.…”

Background Specific phobia (SP) is the most common anxiety disorder among children with Williams syndrome (WS); prevalence rates derived from DSM-based diagnostic interviews range from 37% – 56%. We evaluated the effects of gender, age, intellectual abilities, and/or behaviour regulation difficulties on the likelihood that a child with WS would be diagnosed with SP. Methods 194 6 – 17-year-olds with WS were evaluated. To best characterize the relations between the predictors and the probability of a SP diagnosis, we explored not only possible linear effects but also curvilinear effects. Results No gender differences were detected. As age increased, the likelihood of receiving a SP diagnosis decreased. As IQ increased, the probability of receiving a SP diagnosis also decreased. Behaviour regulation difficulties were the strongest predictor of a positive diagnosis. A quadratic relation was detected: The probability of receiving a SP diagnosis gradually rose as behaviour regulation difficulties increased. However, once behaviour regulation difficulties approached the clinical range, the probability of receiving a SP diagnosis asymptoted at a high level. Conclusion Children with behaviour regulation difficulties in or just below the clinical range were at the greatest risk of developing SP. These findings highlight the value of large samples and the importance of evaluating for nonlinear effects to provide accurate model specification when characterizing relations among a dependent variable and possible predictors.

“…ER strategies have been researched mainly in adults, although recent studies have shown their relevance in childhood and adolescence (Betts, Gullone, & Allen, 2009;Gullone, Hughes, King, & Tonge, 2010;Gullone & Taffe, 2012;Larsen et al, 2013), and they have been related to psychological disorders in this population, such as anxiety, depression (i.e., Garber, Braafladt, & Weiss, 1995;Mathews, Kerns, & Ciesla, 2014;Silk, Steinberg, & Morris, 2003;Southam-Gerow & Kendall, 2002;Suveg & Zeman, 2004), aggressiveness (i.e., Bohnert, Crnic, & Lim, 2003;Dearing, Relyea, & Simons, 2002;Muñoz, Kimonis, Frick, & Aucoin, 2013;Sullivan, Helms, Kliewer, & Goodman, 2010) or eating disorders (i.e., Sim & Zeman, 2005, 2006, among others.…”

“…For instance, the habitual use of certain cognitively-based emotion regulation strategies (i.e., strategies that take place internally, such as reappraising a distressing situation) protects against the negative effects of life stress on emotional and behavioral problems (Flouri & Mavroveli, 2012). The use of maladaptive emotion regulatory strategies and the inability to regulate emotions are related to internalizing and externalizing problems, including anxiety disorders (e.g., ruminating on the source of distress; see Jacob, Thomassin, Morelen, & Suveg, 2011;Mennin, Fresco, Ritter, & Heimberg, 2015), depression (Joormann & Vanderlind, 2014;Sundermann & DePrince, 2015) and antisocial behaviors (Buckholdt et al, 2014).…”

“…This is associated with the likelihood or maintenance of a depressive episode (Joormann & Vanderlind, 2014). In addition, children who experience anxiety are more likely to use maladaptive emotion regulation strategies such as overly focusing on a negative emotion (i.e., rumination) or attempting to shut down the experience of a negative emotion (i.e., expressive suppression) in an effort to avoid feelings of worry or distress (Jacob et al, 2011;Mennin et al, 2015). For example, efforts to suppress the expression of negative emotions may increase the internal affective experience of negative emotions because of the ongoing cognitive effort required to suppress such expressions (Gross, 1998;Gross, 2002).…”

“…For example, efforts to suppress the expression of negative emotions may increase the internal affective experience of negative emotions because of the ongoing cognitive effort required to suppress such expressions (Gross, 1998;Gross, 2002). If effective regulatory skills are not used, appropriate cognitive and emotional resources cannot be directed toward managing distress, which maintains or exacerbates anxious feelings (Jacob et al, 2011).…”

Child and Parent Contributions to Maternal Emotion Socialization and Children's Emotion Outcomes in Late Childhood

Parents have an enduring influence on the development of children. The parent-child relationship is dynamic, and both children and their parents contribute to it. The purpose of this investigation was to examine parent-child emotion socialization processes. These processes represent one of the most influential settings where children's emotional trajectories are developed and shaped. Both children and parents shape parental responses to children's negative emotions. In this investigation, both child and parental antecedents were examined simultaneously, including children's negative emotionality, soothability, attention focusing, and inhibitory control, and parental attribution of children's dysregulated specific negative emotions. The final sample included one hundred and twenty-three mother-child dyads and 36 mothers. Mothers reported on their child's temperament and their attributions of children's dysregulated specific negative emotion displays. Children reported on their mother's supportive and nonsupportive emotion socialization responses to specific negative emotions, their emotion regulation strategy use, and regulatory emotional self-efficacy. Standard multiple regression and bootstrapping were used to examine the relations between children's temperament, parental attributions of dysregulated specific negative emotions, emotion socialization responses to specific negative emotions, and children's cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression, and regulatory emotional self-efficacy. Study findings demonstrated that both children and parents shape parental supportive and nonsupportive responses to specific negative emotions and children's emotion-related outcomes during late childhood.
