A Regulação Emocional é a capacidade de monitorizar, avaliar e modificar reações emocionais, para atingir determinados objetivos. As dificuldades de regulação emocional estão associadas a diferentes Problemas Psicopatológicos, quer de externalização como de internalização, em crianças e adolescentes. Com esta investigação, pretendeu-se explorar o papel da Regulação Emocional em crianças e adolescentes nos Problemas de Externalização e Internalização. Além disso, face à importância do papel dos pais no desenvolvimento das competências emocionais dos filhos e à escassez de estudos que analisam os mecanismos de influência parental, examinamos também o papel mediador da regulação emocional das crianças na relação entre a regulação emocional dos pais e os problemas psicopatológicos das crianças/adolescentes. A amostra é constituída por 151 crianças e adolescentes que frequentam escolas públicas do 3.º ao 9.º ano de escolaridade e os respetivos pais. As crianças/adolescente responderam a um questionário sociodemográfico e a duas escalas de autorrelato: a Escala de Autoperceção de Competências de Autorregulação para Crianças e a Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale. O protocolo administrado aos pais incluiu a escala de Regulação Emocional Parental e o Questionário de Capacidades e Dificuldades. Os principais resultados sugerem uma associação negativa entre Regulação Emocional da criança e os Problemas Psicopatológicos, quer de Externalização como de Internalização. Encontrou-se ainda um efeito indireto, em que a Regulação Emocional dos Pais influencia os Problemas de Externalização dos filhos através da Regulação Emocional da Criança. Assim, uma menor capacidade da criança para regular as emoções está associada a mais Problemas Psicopatológicos, fornecendo apoio à ideia de que a (des)regulação emocional é um fator transdiagnóstico a diferentes Problemas Psicopatológicos. Desta forma, o presente estudo sugere que a Regulação Emocional é um construto central para perceber e para intervir nos problemas psicopatológicos na infância e na adolescência.
Emotional Regulation is the ability to monitor, evaluate and modify emotional reactions to achieve one's goals. Emotion regulation difficulties are associated with different Psychopathological Problems, both externalizing and internalizing, in children and adolescents. This study intends to explore the role of Emotional Regulation in children and adolescents' Externalizing and Internalizing Problems. In addition, given the importance of the role of parents in the development of their children's emotional skills and the scarcity of studies that analyze parental influence mechanisms, we also examine the mediating role of children's emotional regulation in the relationship between parental emotional regulation and psychopathological problems of children/adolescents. The sample consists of 151 children and adolescents who attend public schools from the 3rd to the 9th grade and their parents. The children/adolescent completed a sociodemographic questionnaire and two self-report scales: the Self-Perception of Self-Regulation Skills Scale for Children and the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale. In addition, parents completed the Parent Emotion Regulation Scale and the Skills and Difficulties Questionnaire. The main results suggest a negative association between the child's Emotional Regulation and Psychopathological Problems, both Externalizing and Internalizing. It was also found an indirect effect, in which the Emotional Regulation of the parents influences the Externalizing Problems of the children through the Emotional Regulation of the Child. Thus, a child's lower ability to regulate emotions is associated with more Psychopathological Problems, which suggests that emotional (dys)regulation is a transdiagnostic factor for different Psychopathological Problems. In conclusion, the present study indicates Emotional Regulation as a central construct to perceive and intervene in psychopathological problems in childhood and adolescence.
