Abstract

This study created a structural model of the influence of paternal and maternal meta-emotion philosophy and children’s emotion regulation in terms of their social competence and confirmed the nature of the relationship among the variables. For the purpose of this study, data was collected, targeting 363 children in the 5th and 6th elementary school grades from schools located in Seoul. The main results of this study were as follows: First, both paternal and maternal meta-emotion philosophy had an influence on children’s emotion regulation and emotion dysregulation. Next, paternal and maternal meta-emotion philosophy did not appear to have a significant influence on children’s social competence in a direct manner. The complete mediation effect of emotion regulation in regards to the influence of paternal and maternal meta-emotion philosophy upon children’s social competence was confirmed. It was also found that parental meta-emotion philosophy had an influence upon children’s social competence in an indirect manner through children’s emotion regulation in the period of middle childhood.
