Abstract

Caregiver emotional awareness was associated with child emotion dysregulation; however, its impact varied upon levels of exposure to intimate partner violence. While high caregiver emotional awareness predicted lower child emotion dysregulation in the context of low violence exposure, it interestingly predicted higher child emotion dysregulation when violence exposure was elevated.
