Abstract The ability to regulate negative emotions plays a central role in children's psychosocial (mal-)adjustment. As different contextual demands require the utilization of different strategies, the development of a large and diverse repertoire of emotion regulation (ER) strategies is an important developmental task. This two-wave longitudinal study with 101 preschoolers (wave 1: 3–6 years, M = 5.19, SD = 0.84, 46.5% girls; wave 2: 5–8 years, M = 6.69, SD = 0.85, 46.4% girls) investigated the bidirectional association of children's ER repertoire and problem behavior, operationalized by hyperactivity/attention problems (HAP) and emotional problems (EP). Latent cross-lagged panel analyses indicated that children's size of ER repertoire did not predict HAP, but that HAP negatively predicted the later size of ER repertoire. In contrast, the diversity of available ER strategies negatively predicted later HAP. For EP, no cross-lagged effects could be detected.

儿童情绪调节库和问题行为：一项潜在的交叉滞后小组研究

摘要 调节负面情绪的能力在儿童的社会心理（不良）调整中起着核心作用。由于不同的情境需求需要使用不同的策略，因此开发大量多样的情绪调节 (ER) 策略是一项重要的发展任务。这项针对 101 名学龄前儿童的两波纵向研究（第一波：3-6 岁，M = 5.19，SD = 0.84，46.5% 的女孩；第二波：5-8 岁，M = 6.69，SD = 0.85，46.4% 的女孩）调查了儿童 ER 曲目和问题行为的双向关联，由多动/注意力问题 (HAP) 和情绪问题 (EP) 操作。潜在的交叉滞后面板分析表明，儿童 ER 库的大小不能预测 HAP，但 HAP 负向预测了 ER 库的后期大小。相比之下，可用 ER 策略的多样性对以后的 HAP 产生负面预测。对于 EP，没有检测到交叉滞后效应。
