Emotional and behavioral regulations are crucial for the development of perceptive, responsive, and flexible parenting. Moreover, maternal emotional dysregulation constitutes a risk for maltreatment behaviors. The present study aimed to conduct a systematic review of empirical studies on the associations between mothers’ emotional and behavioral regulations and parenting practices with their children or adolescents. A systematic review was conducted, including papers that addressed these variables, analyzing the direct effects, and moderation or mediation effects of maternal emotional and behavioral regulation on parenting practices, targeting child and adolescent samples. We identified 35 studies for analysis. Most of the studies (86%) showed significant associations between maternal emotional and behavioral regulation and parenting practices. Mothers’ emotional dysregulation was related to a high risk of maltreatment and negative parenting, such as unsupportive reactions and harsh discipline. High maternal emotional dysregulation and negative parenting, in turn, were associated with children’s aggressive behaviors. Conversely, when mothers exhibited high emotional regulation, they engaged in more positive and supportive parenting. Additionally, maternal behavioral regulation with inhibitory control and effortful control led to supportive and warm parenting. Individual and contextual factors, such as maternal victimization history and symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity, had effects on maternal emotional dysregulation, which, in turn, impacted their parenting practices. Consequently, emotional and behavioral regulation played a crucial role in mothers’ parenting practices with their children and adolescents. The findings of the current review could contribute to planning parenting interventions, including maternal emotional and behavioral regulation skills, aimed at preventing maltreatment of their children.

母亲的情绪和行为调节/失调和育儿实践：系统回顾


情绪和行为调节对于培养敏锐、反应灵敏和灵活的养育方式至关重要。此外，母亲情绪失调也构成虐待行为的风险。本研究旨在对母亲的情绪和行为调节与子女或青少年的养育方式之间的关系的实证研究进行系统回顾。进行了系统回顾，包括讨论这些变量的论文，分析了母亲情绪和行为调节对育儿实践的直接影响和调节或中介影响，针对儿童和青少年样本。我们确定了 35 项研究进行分析。大多数研究（86%）表明母亲的情绪和行为调节与养育方式之间存在显着关联。母亲的情绪失调与虐待和消极养育的高风险有关，例如不支持的反应和严厉的管教。母亲情绪高度失调和消极养育反过来又与孩子的攻击性行为有关。相反，当母亲表现出高度的情绪调节能力时，她们会采取更积极和支持性的养育方式。此外，母亲的行为调节与抑制控制和努力控制导致了支持性和温暖的养育。个人和背景因素，例如母亲受害史、注意力不集中和多动症状，会影响母亲的情绪失调，进而影响她们的养育方式。因此，情绪和行为调节在母亲对儿童和青少年的养育实践中发挥着至关重要的作用。 当前审查的结果可能有助于规划育儿干预措施，包括母亲的情绪和行为调节技能，旨在防止虐待儿童。
