“…Because parenting and CE were reported by different reporters, it is unlikely that the parenting -CE relation was purely due to shared method effects. This result is consistent with the theory that authoritarian/coercive parenting evokes negative emotions (Cassidy, 1994;Kobak & Sceery, 1988), which in turn promotes ineffective coping. Moreover, authoritarian parenting may impair children's CE through its negative effect on perceived control (Magaro & Weisz, 2006) or through parental modeling of ineffective coping (Power, 2004).…”

“…We hypothesized that prior parenting and temperament (distal risk/asset factors) may affect children's subsequent NLEs and CE (proximal risk/asset factors), which in turn relate to externalizing (Figure 2). Specifically, authoritarian parenting was expected to predict low CE because (a) it evokes negative emotions, which interfere with effective coping (Cassidy, 1994;Kobak & Sceery, 1988); (b) it may lead to lower perceived control (Magaro & Weisz, 2006), which is related to lower CE (Manne & Glassman, 2000); and (c) it models ineffective coping (e.g., venting ;Power, 2004). In contrast, authoritative parenting was expected to predict high CE because (a) it promotes emotion regulation and effective coping (Saarni, Campos, Camras, & Witherington, 2006) and (b) it may promote learning and enacting of effective coping by providing stability and predictability to the family environment (Kliewer, Sandler, & Wolchik, 1994).…”

Relations of Parenting and Temperament to Chinese Children’s Experience of Negative Life Events, Coping Efficacy, and Externalizing Problems

et al. 2008

The relations of parenting and temperament (effortful control and anger/frustration) to children's externalizing problems were examined in a 3.8-year longitudinal study of 425 native Chinese children (6 -9 years) from Beijing. Children's experience of negative life events and coping efficacy were examined as mediators in the parenting and temperament-externalizing relations. Parents reported on their own parenting. Parents and teachers rated temperament. Children reported on negative life events and coping efficacy. Parents, teachers, children, or peers rated children's externalizing problems. Authoritative and authoritarian parenting and anger/frustration uniquely predicted externalizing problems. The relation between authoritarian parenting and externalizing was mediated by children's coping efficacy and negative school events. The results suggest there is some crosscultural universality in the developmental pathways for externalizing problems.The development of externalizing problems (i.e., aggression and rule-breaking/delinquent behaviors; Achenbach, 2001) has been related to both parenting and child temperament (Dodge, Coie, & Lynam, 2006). Due to the frequent covariation between parenting and temperament (Sanson & Rothbart, 1995), it is important to study their unique relations to externalizing problems. Moreover, relatively little is known regarding the processes underlying the relations of parenting and temperament to externalizing problems. We addressed these questions by examining the prospective and unique relations of authoritative and authoritarian parenting and temperamental effortful control and anger/frustration to school-age children's externalizing problems in urban China. We further tested whether children's experience of negative life events (NLEs) and coping efficacy (CE) partly mediated the parenting-and NIH Public Access Author ManuscriptChild Dev.

Unique Relations of Parenting and Temperament to Chinese Children's Externalizing Problems ParentingIn their coercive social learning theory, Patterson and colleagues (Patterson, 1982;Reid, Patterson, & Snyder, 2002) hypothesized that coercive and punitive parenting plays a key role in training children's externalizing behaviors. The coercive training process often begins with the parent's aversive intrusion into the child's activities (e.g., scolding or punishing the child for an undesirable behavior), followed by the child's negative reactions (e.g., yelling and complaining) and negative reinforcement of this aversive behavior by parental withdrawal of demands. The theory was supported by longitudinal studies revealing a positive r...

“…The experimental design of the current study clarifies these inconsistencies in prior observational studies. The complex nature of human attachment and social interaction with caregivers might be one domain in which direct parallels with the animal literature are limited, potentially related to the fact that the attachment relationship between children and caregivers is a necessary scaffold for development of numerous uniquely human capacities, including emotion regulation and language (49,50). Methodological differences that are difficult to reconcile could also contribute, including different methods used to elicit physiological responses in animals (e.g., restraint or shock) and humans (e.g., social or cognitive challenges).…”

Disruptions in stress response system functioning are thought to be a central mechanism by which exposure to adverse early-life environments influences human development. Although early-life adversity results in hyperreactivity of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in rodents, evidence from human studies is inconsistent. We present results from the Bucharest Early Intervention Project examining whether randomized placement into a family caregiving environment alters development of the autonomic nervous system and HPA axis in children exposed to early-life deprivation associated with institutional rearing. Electrocardiogram, impedance cardiograph, and neuroendocrine data were collected during laboratorybased challenge tasks from children (mean age = 12.9 y) raised in deprived institutional settings in Romania randomized to a highquality foster care intervention (n = 48) or to remain in care as usual (n = 43) and a sample of typically developing Romanian children (n = 47). Children who remained in institutional care exhibited significantly blunted SNS and HPA axis responses to psychosocial stress compared with children randomized to foster care, whose stress responses approximated those of typically developing children. Intervention effects were evident for cortisol and parasympathetic nervous system reactivity only among children placed in foster care before age 24 and 18 months, respectively, providing experimental evidence of a sensitive period in humans during which the environment is particularly likely to alter stress response system development. We provide evidence for a causal link between the early caregiving environment and stress response system reactivity in humans with effects that differ markedly from those observed in rodent models.childhood adversity | early-life stress | HPA axis | autonomic nervous system | stress reactivity D isruptions in stress response system functioning are thought to be a central mechanism by which exposure to adverse early-life environments influences human development. This idea is borne out in rodent models, where the effects of early-life adversity on the development of stress response systems have been well characterized. Exposure to early-life adversityinvolving repeated and prolonged separation of a pup from its mother-results in hyperreactivity of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in adolescence and adulthood and elevations in anxiety, fearful behaviors, and hypervigilance (1-4). Stress exposure in mature rodents is associated with immediate, but not lasting, changes in stress response systems (5, 6), suggesting the presence of an early sensitive period when exposure to adverse environments results in long-term changes in physiological stress response system functioning.

“…Hodgins et al identified the correlation of childhood abuse with gambling problem by examining the difference in childhood abuse exposure after categorizing the Alberta residents of Canada based on the gambling severity into non-gamblers, non-problem gamblers, low-severity gamblers, moderate-severity gamblers and problem gamblers [16]. According to that study, the problem gamblers reported more severe abuse than regular groups; in particular, women reported to have been exposed to more serious physical neglect, emotional abuse, and sexual Meanwhile, those who are exposed to abuse may suppress the emotion or acquire mal-adaptive emotion regulations [17] and manifest the behavior of failed self-control, such as addiction [18,19]. Targeting the adolescents who were emotionally abused by parents, Shin investigated the direct and indirect paths that influence the internalization and externalization of problem behaviors [18].…”

The goal of this study was to identify the moderated mediating effect of family member's gambling problem on the connection between abuse, emotion regulation and problem gambling. To this end, a research model was tested among 642 adults (men: 473, women: 169) who gambled at least once a year and had been categorized as problem gamblers based on the CPGI score (8 and above). The study results were as follows: for men, abuse was identified to have a direct effect on problem gambling and an indirect influence on problem gambling by lowering their emotion regulation. In addition, men who experienced much abuse and had a family member with a gambling problem were found to suffer with a gambling problem of higher severity. This indicates that family member's gambling problem moderates the connection between abuse and gambling problem. As for women, history of domestic abuse affected emotion regulation, but emotion regulation did not mediate the connection between abuse and gambling problem. This study has its significance as it identifies the mechanism of family member's gambling problem from the perspective of developmental psychopathology, in addition to the mechanism of emotion regulation and gambling problem on the developmental path that negative childhood experience can lead to adjustment problem in adulthood.Keywords: Abuse; Emotion regulation; Familial member's gambling problem; Problem gambling IntroductionGambling has some positive functions for individuals and society, as it serves as a medium of leisure and a source of capital in a country and local communities; however, it often plays a dysfunctional role among individuals, families, colleagues, workplaces, communities, and countries [1]. The severity of gambling problem can be seen in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) by American Psychiatric Association (APA), and the problems that stem from dysfunctionality due to loss of self-control are defined as "disordered gambling" [2]. In the same vein, it is crucial to identify the factors influencing gambling problem. Shaffer and Korn highlighted the usefulness of a public health paradigm for gambling, while addressing the issue with a pathological model, which only focuses on individuals with gambling problem and cannot properly handle these problems that create great havoc not only for individuals but also for families and communities [3].The core targets of a public health paradigm for gambling are agents, hosts, and environment; they focus on the interplay between these components, instead of approaching the individual targets separately. In gambling, the agent is the game that determines the outcome of gambling; the host is the individual participating in gambling; and the environment is the physical, socio-cultural surroundings where the game takes place. To discuss the details of the public health paradigm for gambling, let us examine the influencing factors of gambling problem by each component as follows [4]. First, from the host's perspective, the factors that influe...
