A growing body of literature indicates that childhood emotion regulation predicts later success with peers, yet little is known about the processes through which this association occurs. The current study examined mechanisms through which emotion regulation was associated with later peer acceptance and peer rejection, controlling for earlier acceptance and rejection. Data included mother-, teacher-, and peer-reports on 338 children (55% girls, 68% European American) at ages 7 and 10. A path analysis was conducted to test the indirect effects of emotion regulation at age 7 on peer acceptance and peer rejection at age 10 via positive social behaviors of cooperation and leadership, and negative social behaviors of indirect and direct aggression. Results indicated numerous significant indirect pathways. Taken together, findings suggest cooperation, leadership, and direct and indirect aggression are all mechanisms by which earlier emotion regulation contributes to later peer status during childhood.

情绪调节对同伴接受和拒绝的间接影响：积极和消极社会行为的作用。

越来越多的文献表明，儿童时期的情绪调节预示着与同伴的成功，但对这种关联发生的过程所知甚少。当前的研究检验了情绪调节与后来的同伴接受和同伴拒绝相关的机制，控制了较早的接受和拒绝。数据包括7岁和10岁时338名儿童（55％的女孩，68％的美国裔美国人）的母亲，老师和同伴的报告。进行了路径分析，以检验7岁时情绪调节对同伴接纳的间接影响。以及在10岁时受到同伴和领导的积极社会行为以及间接和直接侵略的消极社会行为的排斥。结果表明许多重要的间接途径。综上所述，研究结果表明合作，
