DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This study will examine how early life experiences, evidenced by exposure to psychosocial risk factors and early childhood illness events, affect 7-year-oid children's emotion regulation in dyadic interactions. Specifically, this study will utilize three different methodologies of assessing emotional regulation: children's physiological stress response (i.e., cortisol), quantified observations of parent-child interactions, and parent report of children's behavior. The study will include a low-income, multi-ethnic, urban population of children (n=158) with multiple episodes of wheezing in infancy. Longitudinal data will allow for examination of the impact of psychosocial risk factors and illness events throughout childhood on later emotion regulation. At a laboratory visit, each child will have a venipuncture, watch humorous movies, and participate in a structured parent-child interaction task. Each child's salivary cortisol will be collected 5 times during the visit. Data will be analyzed to examine (1) relationship among Children's Physiological Stress Response, Dyadic Emotion Regulation, and Parent Perceptions of Children's Emotion Regulation and (2) how psychosocial risk factors and illness events predict Children's Physiological Stress Response and Dyadic Emotion Regulation. Results of the present study will contribute to a better understanding of how early life experiences affect parent-child interactions among children with early childhood illness and inform interventions with the parent-child dyad.

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究将探讨早期生活经历（通过接触心理社会风险因素和早期儿童疾病事件来证明）如何影响 7 岁儿童在二元互动中的情绪调节。具体来说，这项研究将利用三种不同的方法来评估情绪调节：儿童的生理压力反应（即皮质醇）、亲子互动的量化观察以及儿童行为的家长报告。该研究将包括婴儿期多次喘息的低收入、多种族、城市儿童（n=158）。纵向数据将有助于检查整个童年时期的心理社会风险因素和疾病事件对以后情绪调节的影响。在实验室参观中，每个孩子都会进行静脉穿刺，观看幽默电影，并参与结构化的亲子互动任务。每个孩子的唾液皮质醇在访视期间将被采集 5 次。将分析数据以检查（1）儿童的生理压力反应、二元情绪调节和家长对儿童情绪调节的看法之间的关系，以及（2）心理社会风险因素和疾病事件如何预测儿童的生理压力反应和二元情绪调节。本研究的结果将有助于更好地了解早期生活经历如何影响患有早期疾病的儿童的亲子互动，并为亲子二人组的干预提供信息。
