“…Secondly, negative parenting was related only to dysregulation, in line with recently reported evidence testing the link between parenting and dysregulation profile [ 27 ], and with a consistent corpus of findings linking dysfunctional parenting to disorders, especially externalizing ones, all characterized by dysregulation issues such as conduct disorder (CD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) ([ 22 , 39 , 40 , 77 ] for reviews). In line with the developmental psychopathology framework [ 78 ], adequate self-regulation requires parents’ ability to set limits for appropriate child behavior and/or misbehavior and when such parental functions fail, there is an increased risk for the child to develop dysregulation.…”

“…The 15-item SDQ–DP was computed by summing all the items of the Emotional Symptoms, Conduct Problems, and Hyperactivity-Inattention scales [ 26 ], and its reliability was assessed with Cronbach’s alpha, resulting in a satisfactory value of 0.64, in line with that reported by other scholars (e.g., [ 27 ]).…”

“…The dysregulation profile is not captured by any specific disorder, but describes a self-regulatory problem in multiple domains of functioning, i.e., affective, behavioral and cognitive, and as such it is transversal to many different disorders occurring in childhood and adolescence, especially on the externalizing pole, such as ADHD and conduct disorder [ 24 , 25 , 26 ]. For this reason, it is considered nowadays as a transdiagnostic factor linked to heightened risk for psychopathology [ 27 ]. Initially captured through an index based on the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL, [ 28 ]) scales, it has been reliably assessed also with indexes based on the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ, [ 29 ]) scales and items [ 25 , 26 , 30 ].…”

“…Although theoretical suggestions support the role of environmental influences on achieving effective regulatory skills [ 22 , 38 , 39 , 40 ], especially quality of caregiving, evidence on the relation between the dysregulation profile and quality of parenting is quite scant ([ 41 ] for a review) and only recently has it been tested in relation to the SDQ profile [ 27 ].…”

The study addresses some gaps in the current understanding of adolescents’ Problematic Social Network Site Use (PSNSU) by exploring the role of parenting as a precursor, and dysregulation and self-esteem as possible mediators. The sample includes 148 parents (15% fathers) and their adolescent offspring (23% male, age ranging from 14 to 18 years old, M = 15.96, SD = 1.36). Parent-reported dysregulation and positive/negative parenting style and adolescent-reported PSNSU and self-esteem were collected. As to positive parenting, simple parallel mediations were fully supported: positive parenting was associated with less dysregulation and higher self-esteem and both conditions independently predicted adolescents’ PSNSU. Additionally, a serial mediation model was confirmed, suggesting that positive parenting is associated with less PSNSU by means of the sequential effect of dysregulation on self-esteem. As to negative parenting, results only support one simple mediation: negative parenting predicted PSNSU through dysregulation. Self-esteem was not impacted by negative parenting, interrupting the indirect pathways. The direct effect of negative parenting on PSNSU was significant, suggesting a partial mediation. Findings deepen the current understanding of teens’ PSNSU and highlight the importance of targeting parenting when implementing interventions to prevent and treat PSNSU.

“…On the contrary, a cold, neglectful, unresponsive, or invalidating parental style can increase youth's distress and teach offspring that emotions are unacceptable and cannot be tolerated by their parents, thus limiting the opportunities to learn more effective ways of dealing with unpleasant emotions [46]. Moreover, parenting practices associated with control, intrusion, and over-protection predict emotion dysregulation both in children and adolescents [47][48][49][50][51].…”

Research has shown that both parenting and emotional dysregulation are associated with mental health outcomes in youth. This cross-sectional research was developed to replicate these noted findings and explore the mediating role of emotional dysregulation to explain the relationship between parenting and emotional and behavioral difficulties (internalizing and externalizing problems) in adolescents. A total of 104 adolescents (61.5% females; M = 15.62 yrs., SD = 1.38) participated in the study. Participants completed the Parental Bonding Instrument (measuring care, promotion of autonomy, and overprotection) referring to both the mother and father, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, and the Youth Self-Report. The results showed that difficulties in emotion regulation fully mediated the relationship between overprotection (in both parents) and low maternal care with internalizing problems, on the one hand, and the relationship between maternal overprotection and low care (in both parents) with externalizing problems, on the other hand. Furthermore, emotional dysregulation partially mediated the effect of paternal care on internalizing problems. These findings help to clarify one of the mechanisms through which parenting can affect mental health in youth. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed.

Parenting plays a crucial role in child development. Emotion Regulation (ER) is considered as an important ability during development since it is tightly associated with children’s future social competence and also their external and internal behaviors. This research investigation explores the profound impact of positive and negative parenting on pre-school and school age children's ER. The essay finds positive parenting, characterized by warmth, support, and consistent discipline, emerges as a crucial factor in nurturing healthier emotion regulation in pre-school children. These children exhibit greater emotional awareness and competence, fostering overall well-being and improved social interactions. Conversely, negative parenting, marked by harsh discipline and emotional neglect, obstructs emotional growth, leading to emotional dysregulation and behavioral challenges. Additionally, this paper delves into the nuances of the influence exerted by fathers and mothers on children's emotion regulation. While both parental figures play vital roles in a child's emotional development, their impact can vary due to unique parenting styles and interactions. In conclusion, this research underscores the pivotal role of positive parenting practices in cultivating robust emotion regulation skills in pre-school children. It emphasizes the necessity for parents to establish nurturing and supportive environments conducive to emotional growth and the importance of recognizing the distinct roles of fathers and mothers in shaping children's emotional development. Ultimately, comprehending the dynamics of parenting and their implications on children's emotional regulation is vital for creating a positive and nurturing environment that promotes children's well-being and emotional resilience.
