We conducted a meta-analytic review of 53 studies published between 2000 and 2020 to quantify associations of parents’ emotion regulation with parenting behavior and children’s emotion regulation and internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Twelve meta-analyses, which included between 4 to 22 effect sizes (N from 345 to 3609), were conducted to summarize associations of parent emotion regulation with positive or negative parenting behaviors and child outcomes of emotion regulation, difficulties in emotion regulation, internalizing symptoms, or externalizing behavior. Given the range of behavioral parent emotion regulation measures used across studies, effect sizes for parent emotion regulation strategy use (skill) were analyzed separately from effect sizes for parents’ difficulties with emotion regulation. Summary effect sizes ranged from |.08| to |.28| for relations of parent emotion regulation skill with parenting behaviors and children’s adjustment. Summary effect sizes ranged from |.03| to |.42| for relations of parent emotion regulation difficulties with parenting behaviors and children’s adjustment. In general, parents with better emotion regulation skill or fewer difficulties are higher in positive parenting behaviors and have children with better emotion regulation and fewer internalizing symptoms. Evidence was less clear-cut for child externalizing behaviors. Significant effect size heterogeneity was observed in most analyses, and study characteristics (measures, child age, parent gender, sampling, and region where the study was conducted) were examined as moderators. Measures used, child age, and participant risk status moderated effect size in some analyses.

我们对 2000 年至 2020 年间发表的 53 项研究进行了荟萃分析，以量化父母情绪调节与养育行为、儿童情绪调节以及内化和外化症状之间的关联。进行了 12 项荟萃分析，其中包括 4 到 22 个效应量（N从 345 到 3609），以总结父母情绪调节与积极或消极的养育行为以及儿童情绪调节结果、情绪调节困难、内化症状的关联，或外化行为。鉴于跨研究使用的行为父母情绪调节措施的范围，父母情绪调节策略使用的效果大小（技能) 与父母情绪调节困难的影响大小分开分析。汇总效应大小范围为 |.08| 到 |.28| 父母情绪调节能力与父母教养行为和儿童适应的关系。汇总效应大小范围为 |.03| 到 |.42| 父母情绪调节困难与父母教养行为和儿童适应的关系。一般而言，情绪调节能力较好或困难较少的父母在积极养育行为方面的积极性较高，孩子的情绪调节能力较好，内化症状较少。儿童外化行为的证据不那么明确。在大多数分析和研究特征（测量、儿童年龄、父母性别、抽样、和进行研究的地区）作为主持人进行检查。在一些分析中，所使用的措施、儿童年龄和参与者风险状况调节了效应大小。
