Aile bağlamında çocukların duygu düzenlemesi: Ortak ebeveynliğin ve ebeveynlerin öz-şefkatinin katkıları

The purpose of the current study was to examine the dyadic relationship between parents' self-compassion and children's emotion regulation in early childhood, with a specific focus on the mediating role of the coparenting relationship (cooperation, conflict, and triangulation). The sample of this study consisted of 361 parental dyads (361 mothers and 361 fathers) who had at least one child between 29 and 118 months (M = 70.15, SD = 18.08). Both parents reported their level of self-compassion, the coparenting quality, and their child's emotion regulation. The Actor–Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) and Actor–Partner Interdependence Mediation Model (APIMeM) analyses were conducted. APIM results showed a significant and positive relationship between parents' self-compassion and their report of child emotion regulation. In partner effects, only fathers' self-compassion was significantly and positively associated with mother-reported child emotion regulation. Additionally, both parents' self-compassion was associated with higher quality of coparenting relationship (higher cooperation, and lower conflict and triangulation) reported by themselves and their partner. However, fathers' self-compassion was not significantly associated with mothers' cooperation. Also, fathers' cooperation mediated the relationship between mothers' self-compassion and father-reported child emotion regulation, as well as the relationship between fathers' self-compassion and report of child emotion regulation. Additionally, mothers' conflict mediated the relationship between their self-compassion and father-report of child emotion regulation, as well as the relationship between fathers' self-compassion and mother-reported child emotion regulation. Implications of the findings, limitations, and future directions were discussed.
