Emotional Security Theory

AbstractGuided by emotional security theory, this study examined the temperamental precursors of distinctive profiles of children's responses to interparental conflict. Participants included 243 children (M = 4.6 years) and their parents across two annual measurement occasions. Temperamental constructs of frustration proneness, approach, positive affect, activity level, and effortful control were assessed through multiple methods, informants, and contexts. Behavioral observations of children's responses to interparental conflict at each wave yielded four profiles: secure (i.e., efficiently address direct threat), mobilizing (i.e., vigilance to potential threat and social opportunities), dominant (i.e., directly defeat threat), and demobilizing (i.e., reduce salience as a target of hostility). Results supported hypotheses on the distinct constellations of temperament in predicting subsequent change in the four security profiles.

This research study pertaining to the effects of Parents-Children Communication on the academic performance of the children was carried out across the Southern Punjab. The researcher observed at various stances that Parent-Children Communication was taken as granted by the parents and its consequences were not bothered. This research investigated the relationship between Parental-Children Communication, Gender, and Academic performance of the children. The Emotional Security Theory (EST) developed by Cummings and Davies (2006) and Social Learning Theory posed by Albert Bandura (1974) were applied to the study. of 6th grade. All children living in Southern Punjab and their parents were considered as population of the study. The researcher used multistage sampling technique. The researcher took a balanced sample comprised of 1000 male and female children. SPSS version-25 was used for data analysis. The study revealed that friendly Parent-Children Communication was positively associated with progress in academic performance whereas unfriendly Parent-Children Communication was negatively associated with progress in the academic performance. Furthermore male children were found more sensitized to unfriendly Parent-Children Communication than the female children as academic performance of female children were found higher than their counterparts.
