“…Research has shown that good emotion regulation (ER) skills are significantly linked with various developmental factors in childhood, such as higher levels of social competence (McDowell et al, 2002; Monopoli & Kingston, 2012), positive peer relationships (Graziano et al, 2007; Gülay Ogelman & Fetihi, 2019), higher academic achievement (Graziano et al, 2007; Gumora & Arsenio, 2002), and greater resilience (Gülay Ogelman & Önder, 2019). Furthermore, some studies suggest an association between poor ER in children and a range of psychological problems and difficulties, including internalizing and externalizing symptoms in general (Eisenberg, Gershoff, et al, 2001; Kim & Cicchetti, 2010; Kim‐Spoon et al, 2013) and anxiety (Loevaas et al, 2018; Rydell et al, 2007), depression, and behaviour problems (Silk et al, 2003; Silva & Freire, 2014) specifically.…”
