亲子关系对学龄前儿童社会技能的影响:执行功能和情绪调节的跨时间链式中介作用OA

Objective To examine the effect of the quality of the parent-child relationship on preschoolers'social skills and the cross-time chain mediating roles of executive function and emotion regulation.Methods Using stratified random sampling,518 preschoolers aged 3-5 years in Nanjing were followed for one year in a two-wave longitudinal design.Questionnaires were used to assess the quality of the parent-child relationship,executive function,emotion regulation,and social skills.Results Pairwise correlations among the quality of the parent-child relationship(Time 1,T1),executive function(T1),emotion regulation(Time 2,T2),and social skills(at T1 and T2)were all significant(P<0.001).The quality of the parent-child relationship(T1)predicted preschoolers'social skills(T2)through the independent mediating effect of emotion regulation(T2),which accounted for 56.25%of the total indirect effect,and through the cross-time chain mediating effect of executive function(T1)and emotion regulation(T2),which accounted for 31.25%of the total indirect effect.Conclusions Executive function and emotion regulation play a cross-time chain mediating role in the link between the parent-child relationship and preschoolers'social skills.
