Early Childhood Emotion Regulation Strategy Articulation, its Neurophysiological Correlates, and Association with Psychopathology.

ABSTRACT: Deliberate Emotion Regulation (ER), the effortful regulation of emotions, is strongly linked to psychopathology. In adults, deliberate ER is often experienced as a self-narrative, such as reappraising a negatively perceived scenario. However, researchers have yet to study how young children articulate deliberate ER strategies, whether these strategies relate to real-time ER neurophysiological processes, and how these strategies are associated with psychopathology. We examined preschool-aged children's verbally articulated ER strategies prior to a frustration challenge, and related these strategies to subsequent real-time neural and physiological responses to frustration and psychopathology in a sample of 59 children. We categorized children's responses into two groups: those who articulate
