‘Research Review: Child emotion regulation mediates the association between family factors and internalizing symptoms in children and adolescents – a meta-analysis’
Open Access paper from the JCPP
Parental influence on children’s internalizing symptoms has been well established; however, little is known about the underlying mechanisms. One possible mechanism is child emotion regulation given evidence (a) of its associations with internalizing symptoms and (b) that the development of emotion regulation during childhood and adolescence is influenced by aspects of the family environment. This meta-analysis aimed to systematically investigate the mediating role of child emotion regulation in the relationship between various family factors and internalizing symptoms in children and adolescents.
