dc.description.abstractTurkey, like many countries, implemented protective measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. One such measure involved isolating young children to reduce virus transmission. However, this regulation presented parents with the challenging task of juggling work responsibilities while caring for their young children without the usual support from external resources. Given these difficult circumstances, young children may struggle with emotion regulation, while isolation can impede parents from effectively addressing their children's negative emotions. This online study aims to examine the dynamic relationship between children's emotion regulation ability and maternal emotion socialization capacity in predicting children's behavioral difficulties. The study revealed a positive correlation between maternal punitive and minimizing emotion socialization reactions and children's behavioral difficulties. However, this association was primarily observed in children with high negative emotionality and low effortful control. Notably, when children had low negative emotionality scores, maternal minimizing emotion socialization behaviors were negatively associated with their behavior problems. These findings support the idea that during stressful periods, such as a pandemic, the diathesis-stress model may become more applicable. It emphasizes the interaction between individuals' vulnerabilities and environmental triggers leading to unfavorable outcomes, such as higher levels of children's externalizing problems. These results underscore the importance of tailored intervention programs for parent-child dyads experiencing limited psychological resources during stressful events like a pandemic.
