Parent Emotion Socialization and Young Children’s Emotion Regulation: Evidence from an African Sample

The current study replicated the supportive and non-supportive dimensions of the CCNES (Gamble et al., 2007) in a sample of 170 African parents. Supportive parent ES and playfulness predicted young children’s emotion regulation, but non-supportive ES, parental distress, and parental emotion regulation did not relate to young children’s emotion regulation.
