METHODS: The study group consisted of 265 children (135 girls and 130 boys) who were attending two separate primary schools in the city center of Antalya, Turkey. The mean age of the children was 10.27 ± 0.45. As the data gathering instruments, an \"Individual Information Form\" was administered to assess the socio-demographic information of the children, while the \"Multidimensional Neglectful Behavior Scale-Child Report was administered to examine the level of neglect of children by the parents, the \"Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Child Form\" was administered to assess the trait emotional intelligence level, and the \"Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies for Children Scale\" was administered to assess the CERS of the children.
RESULTS: It was found that trait EI played a full mediator role in the relationship between CERS and both maternal and paternal neglect (p < .05), except for the relationship between paternal neglect and maladaptive CERS (p > .05).
CONCLUSIONS: The results may suggest that neglected children use all emotion regulation skills, including both adaptive and maladaptive, to cope with their negative emotional experience, but may use adaptive CERS more if their trait EI is higher.
方法:研究组由265名儿童(135名女孩和130名男孩)组成,他们在安塔利亚市中心的两所独立小学就读,土耳其。儿童的平均年龄为10.27±0.45。作为数据收集工具,管理“个人信息表”以评估儿童的社会人口统计信息,而“多维忽视行为量表-儿童报告”是为了检查父母对儿童的忽视程度,“特质情绪智力问卷-儿童表格”被用来评估特质情绪智力水平,并采用“儿童认知情绪调节策略量表”评估儿童的CERS。
结果:发现特征EI在CERS与母性和父性忽视之间的关系中起着完全中介作用(p<0.05),除了父辈忽视与适应不良CERS之间的关系(p>.05)。
结论:结果可能表明被忽视的儿童使用所有情绪调节技能,包括自适应和适应不良,为了应对他们的负面情绪体验,但如果他们的性状EI更高,可能会更多地使用适应性CERS。
