Summary

Emotional regulation has been found to play a crucial role in an individual's mental well-being and emotional dysregulation is implicated in most of psychiatric disorders listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) (APA, 2013; Gross \& Levenson, 1997; Thoits, 1985). Specifically in children, poor emotional regulation skills and parental emotional dysregulation contribute significantly to childhood psychopathology (Han \& Shaffer, 2014). This study has two parts - Part 1 aims to explore and identify the parental emotion socialization factors that contributes to a child's emotion regulation abilities and examine how parental emotion dysregulation contribute to the profile of a child's emotional and behavioral difficulties; Part 2 attempts to determine the effectiveness of parental emotional coaching in developing a child's emotion regulation abilities and reducing a child's symptoms of psychopathology. Participants will include both nonclinical and clinical samples, consisting of children and adolescents, aged 7 to 17 years old (middle childhood to adolescence) and their parents. Participants will be invited to complete a set of questionnaires (Part 1) and to participate in a randomized controlled trial that provides parents with a workshop on emotion coaching skills (Part 2). Data will be analysed using correlation,regression analyses and mixed Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Clinical implications from this study includes, informing of improvements to the clinical services provided in the healthcare setting, as well as contribute to the transdiagnostic formulation of children and adolescent mental health conditions.
