The Relationship Among Maternal Meta-emotional Philosophy,preschool Children’s Emotional Regulation And Self-efficacy

The concept of self-efficacy was first proposed by Bandura(1977),and refers to the belief that an individual has in completing an action before performing an action.Based on Bandura’s(1997)self-efficacy theory,Caprara et al.Proposed the concept of regulatory emotional self-efficacy in 1999,which refers to an individual’s level of confidence and perception in regulating emotions.A large number of studies have shown that regulatory emotional self-efficacy has a strong influence on a person.It affects people’s choices,efforts,motivations and their behaviors.That is,if a person believes that he can successfully regulate his emotions,he will activities that is motivated to work hard to achieve these goals,and he is persistent in the face of difficulties and failures.Previous studies have shown that parents’ meta-emotional philosophy can affect children’s emotional ability,and the experience of individual emotional regulation(or individual emotional regulation ability)can affect self-efficacy of emotional regulation.Therefore,in this study,238 children and their mothers from two private kindergartens in Nanchang were investigated through questionnaires and experiments.Based on understanding the mother ’s meta-emotion concept,the child ’s emotional regulation ability,and the current state of self-efficacy in emotional regulation,Further explore the relationship among the mother’s meta-emotion idea,children’s emotion regulation and regulatory emotional self-efficacy.The aim is to provide more references and guidance for children’s family education and school education.research shows:(1)The score of the mother’s emotional teaching philosophy is higher than that of the other three types of philosophy.The concept of mother’s meta-emotion differs significantly in different educational backgrounds and occupations.(2)The emotional regulation ability of young children differs significantly at different ages.The specific manifestation is that the emotional regulation ability of4-year-old children is significantly lower than that of 5-year-old and 6-year-old children.(3)The emotional self-efficacy of young children differs significantly at different ages.The specific manifestation is that the emotional self-efficacy of4-year-old children is significantly lower than the emotional self-efficacy of5-year-old and 6-year-old children.(4)There is a significant difference between young children’s emotional regulation ability and regulatory emotional self-efficacy in the family who is the child’s main caregiver.The specific performance is that children whose parents are the primary caregivers have emotional regulation ability and regulatory emotional self-efficacy.Significantly higher than children whose primary caregivers were ancestors.(5)The mother’s emotional teaching ideas and out-of-control ideas are significantly related to the emotional regulation ability and regulatory emotional self-efficacy of preschool children;the children’s emotional regulation ability and their regulatory emotional self-efficacy are significantly positively correlated.(6)The mother’s emotional teaching Philosophy can predict the child’s emotion regulation ability and regulatory emotional self-efficacy;the mother’s emotional uncontrollable meta-emotion concept can negatively predict the child’s emotion regulation ability.(7)Children’s ability to regulate emotions plays a mediating role in the influence of mother’s emotion teaching ideas on children’s regulatory emotional self-efficacy,and children’s emotion regulation ability plays a role in the influence of mother’s emotional disorder control ideas on children’s regulatory emotional self-efficacy to complete mediation.
