【 摘 要 】

This study examined the prospective, interactive contributions of parent socialization of copingand child negative emotionality to children’s responses to peer aggression and depressivesymptoms. Children (n = 289, M age = 8.00, SD = .37) and their parents completedquestionnaires at two waves over a one-year period. Results revealed that active socialization ofcoping contributed to fewer depressive symptoms over time; specifically, secondary controlengagement suggestions predicted fewer symptoms for all children, and disengagement copingsuggestions predicted fewer symptoms for children with both high negative emotionality andhigh exposure to peer victimization. Active socialization of coping also contributed to lessdisengagement coping and fewer involuntary engagement responses, and these effects varied as afunction of negative emotionality. Passive socialization of coping contributed to less primarycontrol engagement coping and more disengagement coping, but only for youth with highnegative emotionality. This research provides novel evidence that parents’ responses tochildren’s peer victimization experiences contribute to children’s adjustment over time. Inaddition, this research suggests that the implications of socialization of coping for children’sadjustment vary as a function of children’s temperament-based negative emotionality.
