Emotion Regulation and Childhood Aggression: Longitudinal Associations

Auteurs: Judith Röll, Ute Koglin, Franz Petermann

Gepubliceerd in: Child Psychiatry & Human Development | Uitgave 6/2012

Abstract

Accumulating evidence suggests that emotion dysregulation is associated with psychopathology. This paper provides a review of recent longitudinal studies that investigate the relationship between emotion regulation and aggressive behavior in childhood age. While there is substantial evidence for assuming a close relation of emotion regulation and aggressive behavior, moderating and mediating factors like gender and peer rejection have been established. Furthermore, results suggest emotion dysregulation as an important risk factor of aggressive behavior. Several directions for future research are pointed out to further validate and refine the reviewed relationships.
