The cultivation of children’s prosocial behavior is a key part of preschool education.Good prosocial behavior can not only help children have harmonious interpersonal relations,but also help the flower of the motherland better integrate into the socialist soil and maintain the coordination and stability of social order.The development of infant prosocial behavior is mainly affected by individual factors and environmental factors.Children’s emotional ability is an important individual factor affecting their social behavior.Therefore,this study selected two variables of children’s emotional ability,emotional expression and emotional regulation,to explore their influence on children’s prosocial behavior.In terms of environmental factors,this study selects the representative emotion teaching concept and emotion rending concept from parents’ meta emotion concept,explores the internal mechanism between them and children’s emotional ability and prosocial behavior,and tests whether it will affect children’s prosocial behavior by affecting children’s emotional expression and regulation ability,in order to provide a new perspective for our prosocial education.Better promote the development of preschool children’s prosocial behavior.This study is divided into two parts.In study 1,296 parents from L City,HN Province were selected as subjects by questionnaire survey to explore the influence of children’s emotional expression and emotional regulation ability on their prosocial behavior.The results showed that:(1)there were significant age differences in children’s total score of emotional regulation ability,cognitive reconstruction,problem solving and passive coping strategies,and significant gender differences in support seeking strategies.(2)There are significant gender differences in children’s total score of prosocial behavior and sharing behavior.(3)After controlling for demographic variables,the intensity of children’s emotional expression can negatively predict their prosocial behavior;Problem solving and cognitive reconstruction strategies in children’s emotional regulation ability can positively predict their prosocial behavior,while emotional venting and self-comforting strategies can negatively predict their prosocial behavior.On the basis of study 1,408 parents in H City,HB Province were selected as subjects in study 2 by questionnaire survey to explore the influence and mechanism of parents’ emotional teaching concept and emotional exclusion concept on children’s prosocial behavior,and further test whether children’s emotional expression and emotional regulation play an intermediary role.The results showed that:(1)There were significant differences in the strategies of seeking support,self-consolation,passive coping and aggressive behavior in parents’ emotional abandonment concept and children’s emotional regulation ability.(2)There are significant differences in the intensity of children’s emotional expression,total score of emotion regulation ability,problem solving and alternative activity strategies.(3)Parents’ emotional teaching concept,children’s emotional expression strength,children’s emotional regulation ability and children’s prosocial behavior were significantly correlated;The idea of parental emotional abandonment is significantly correlated with the strength of children’s emotional expression,but not with children’s emotional ability and prosocial behavior.Based on the above research conclusions,this study puts forward educational suggestions for parents’ meta-emotional concept,children’s emotional ability and prosocial behavior from three aspects: family,kindergarten and society,hoping to help parents pay attention to the influence of their meta-emotional concept on children’s development,pay attention to the influence of children’s emotional ability on their prosocial behavior,and improve the cooperation consciousness between parents and kindergartens.Call on the society to improve the material resources security and promote the development of prosocial behavior of children.
