Young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) struggle with emotion regulation (ER), which is developmentally preceded by lability/negative affect (L/N), and their parents face unique challenges to parenting and providing assistance. The Stress and Anger Management Program (STAMP) is a cognitive-behavioral treatment designed to address ER deficits in young children with ASD through child skill-building and parent training. The current study evaluated child L/N, ER, and parental confidence outcomes in 4- to 7-year-old children with ASD (N = 23; 19 boys) and their parents randomly assigned to a treatment (n = 12) or a waitlist control group (n = 11). Child L/N decreased, regulation was not significantly changed, and parental confidence regarding the child's ability to manage anger and anxiety increased from pre- to posttreatment in the treatment group, but not in the waitlist group. Implications for future interventions that address ER in children with ASD and their parents are discussed.

自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的幼儿在情绪调节（ER）方面挣扎，后者在发展中先于不稳定性/负面影响（L / N），其父母在养育子女和提供帮助方面面临独特的挑战。压力和愤怒管理计划（STAMP）是一种认知行为疗法，旨在通过儿童技能培养和父母培训来解决ASD幼儿的ER缺陷。本研究评估了4至7岁的ASD儿童（N = 23； 19个男孩）及其父母被随机分配到一种治疗方法（n = 12）或儿童的L / N，ER和父母的置信度结果候补名单对照组（n = 11）。儿童的L / N降低，调节没有明显改变，父母对孩子的信心 从治疗前到治疗后，愤怒和焦虑的处理能力在治疗组中有所提高，而在候补组中则没有。讨论了针对ASD儿童及其父母的ER的未来干预措施的含义。
