The Impact

This chapter discusses children’s emotion regulation and adjustment in relation to parental incarceration. Parental incarceration may contribute to psychological maladjustment by disrupting the attachment bond between the parent and child and by influencing the development and deployment of maladaptive emotion regulation competencies. A nascent body of research indicates children of incarcerated parents are at risk for negative socio-emotional, psychological, educational, and health outcomes. Limited studies have investigated the impact incarceration has on emotion regulation; preliminary findings demonstrate children who manifest stronger emotion regulation skills have fewer negative psychological outcomes. Thus, a more comprehensive investigation of emotion regulation competencies fostering resilience is warranted. Additionally, future research investigating the impact of modeling and emotion coaching by key socializing figures is warranted. Training children and caregivers to manage affect during emotionally-provocative situations during the incarceration period (e.g., visitations, family reunification) may promote healthy adjustment.

A systematic investigation has been lacking regarding children’s deliberate regulation of others’ emotions which is labeled interpersonal emotion regulation (ER). Based on a theoretically derived model of Interpersonal Affect Classification, we examined children’s interpersonal ER strategy use in the peer group. Participants were 398 fourth and fifth grade children from the Midwestern United States. Children rated themselves regarding their use of intrapersonal and interpersonal ER strategies as well as attention to friends’ emotions. Teacher-report and peer nominations were used to assess social competence regarding prosocial behavior and emotion sharing. Awareness of and attention to friends’ emotions were positively and more strongly associated with interpersonal ER than intrapersonal ER. Children reported affective engagement most strongly followed by humor, cognitive engagement, and attention to improve friends’ feelings. Among the four interpersonal ER strategies, only affective engagement was uniquely associated with social competence; intrapersonal ER was not associated with social competence. The findings support the significance of broadening the focus of ER to the interpersonal domain to promote the development of children’s ER and social competence.
