Activity and mood temperament as predictors of adolescent substance use: test of a self -
regulation mediational mode.
Not exact matches
Indeed, many consider the development of emotional self -
regulation in particular to be one of the key processes in childhood behaviour problems.27, 28,29,30 For example, in characterizing the behaviour of children with early externalizing behaviour problems, there is often reference to a lack of control, under - control, or poor
regulation.29, 30 In characterizing the behaviour of children with internalizing disorders, there is often a discussion of over - control.12 Understanding the role of temperament in child development may be facilitated by examining the possible
mediational effects of emerging self and emotion
regulation, and may provide a more proximal mechanism for the development of different forms of behavioural adjustment difficulties characteristic of childhood.

Our study focused on two such
mediational links — affective quality in mother - child interactions and children's difficulties with emotion
regulation.
Furthermore, we found that the
mediational effect of maternal warmth was not a unique effect above and beyond the
mediational effect of child emotion
regulation.
We found two differences contributing to the group differences in
mediational models: 1) there was a significant association between maternal depressive symptoms and child emotion
regulation among European American families (r = 0.28, p < 0.01), but not among African American families (r = 0.12, n.s.), and 2) there was a significant correlation between maternal warmth and child peer relations among European Americans (r = 0.24, p < 0.05, but not African Americans (r = 0.14, n.s.).
