Parents can influence children's emotional responses through direct and subtle behavior. In this study we examined how parents' acute stress responses might be transmitted to their 7- to 11-year-old children and how parental emotional suppression would affect parents' and children's physiological responses and behavior. Parents and their children (N = 214; Ndyads = 107; 47% fathers) completed a laboratory visit where we initially separated the parents and children and subjected the parent to a standardized laboratory stressor that reliably activates the body's primary stress systems. Before reuniting with their children, parents were randomly assigned to either suppress their affective state-hide their emotions from their child-or to act naturally (control condition). Once reunited, parents and children completed a conflict conversation and two interaction tasks together. We measured their sympathetic nervous system (SNS) responses and observed interaction behavior. We obtained three key findings: (a) suppressing mothers' SNS responses influenced their child's SNS responses; (b) suppressing fathers' SNS responses were influenced by their child's SNS responses; and (c) dyads with suppressing parents appeared less warm and less engaged during interaction than control dyads. These findings reveal that parents' emotion regulation efforts impact parent-child stress transmission and compromise interaction quality. Discussion focuses on short-term and long-term consequences of parental emotion regulation and children's social-emotional development. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

你自己留着?父母情绪抑制会影响生理联系和互动行为。

父母可以通过直接和微妙的行为影响孩子的情绪反应。在这项研究中,我们研究了父母的急性应激反应如何传递给7至11岁的孩子,以及父母的情绪抑制将如何影响父母和孩子的生理反应和行为。父母和他们的孩子(N = 214; Ndyads = 107; 47%的父亲)完成了一次实验室访问,我们最初将父母和孩子分开,然后让父母接受标准化的实验室压力源,该压力源可以可靠地激活人体的主要压力系统。在与孩子团聚之前,父母被随机分配来压抑孩子的情感状态,隐藏孩子的情绪,或者自然地行动(控制状况)。团聚后 父母和孩子共同完成了一次冲突对话和两项互动任务。我们测量了他们的交感神经系统(SNS)响应并观察了相互作用行为。我们获得了三个主要发现:(a)抑制母亲的SNS反应影响了孩子的SNS反应;(b)抑制父亲的SNS反应受其子女的SNS反应影响;(c)具有抑制性亲本的二元组在交往过程中比对照二元组显得不那么温暖,参与度也更低。这些发现表明,父母的情绪调节努力会影响亲子压力传递并影响互动质量。讨论的重点是父母情绪调节和儿童社会情感发展的短期和长期后果。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2020 APA,保留所有权利)。
