In this lecture, I firstly introduce main research interests at our lab. Then I describe three major research projects that we are currently carrying out, including research on Chinese Family Emotional Processes and Child Psychopathology, Multi-dimensional Analysis of Parent-Child Interaction, and Romantic Relationship of Emerging Adults. At last, I report two examples of our recent study findings.The title of the first study is “Emotion Dysregulation Mediates Relations between Chinese Parents’ Histories of Childhood Emotional Abuse and Parenting Stress: A Dyadic Data Analysis”. In this study, we focused on the intrapersonal and interpersonal effects of parents’ histories of childhood emotional abuse and emotion dysregulation on parenting stress in a sample of school-age children’s parents (both fathers and mothers) in Mainland China. A sample of 194 Chinese couples (for fathers, M age = 40.32; for mothers, M age = 37.55) who were the parents of elementary school students, participated in the study. Structural equation modeling within the framework of the actor-partner interdependence mediation model was used to assess whether emotion dysregulation would mediate the relations between parents’ childhood emotional abuse and parenting stress of both individuals and their spouses. The childhood emotional abuse of one parent was significantly associated with the parenting stress of both parents through the emotion dysregulation of the parent who was emotionally abused. Results not only suggested the complex mechanism of the links between emotional abuse and parenting stress in the family system, but also indicated the important role of both parents’ childhood histories of emotional abuse in parenting experience.
The title of the other study is “The Heart of Parenting: Links between Heart Rate Dynamics and Parenting Practices during Parent-Child Conflict Resolution”. In this study, we examined the associations between parent heart rate (HR) dynamic changes and observed parenting behaviors and parent-child relationship among 89 parent-child dyads (child age ranged from 6 to 12, Mage = 8.76) during a conflict resolution task. Parental hostility, psychological unavailability and parent-child relationship quality were coded based on observations of parenting behaviors during the task. Parent HR was obtained from electrocardiogram (ECG) data collected from parents. Results showed that low baseline HR was associated with high levels of parent hostility. A pattern of HR increases while discussing a conflict followed by HR decreases while resolving the conflict was related to low levels of parental hostility, psychological unavailability and high levels of parent-child relationship quality, These findings indicated the physiological underpinnings of observed parenting behaviors and parent-child relationship.
