ABSTRACT
This study explored the relationship between parental reaction to children`s negative emotions, child`s self-regulation and stress-coping behaviors. This study also examined the mediating effect of a child`s self-regulation between parental reactions to children`s negative emotions and a child`s stress-coping behaviors. The sample included 407 elementary school 5th-6th grades and their parents (comprising 407 couples) in Seoul. The research results are summarized as follows. First, parental reactions to children`s negative emotions were significantly related to the child`s self-regulation and stress-coping behaviors. Secondly, it was also found that parental reactions to children`s negative emotion were both partially and indirectly related to a child`s stress-coping behaviors through the child`s use of self-regulation.
