Correlation analysis between preschool children's emotional competence and home-rearing environment
Objective To analyze the correlation between preschool children's emotional competence and home-rearing environ-ment in Shangrao City,so as to provide support for improving children's emotional competence development as well as their home-rearing environment.Methods A total of 1 242 children aged 3-6 years old from 10 kindergartens in Shangrao City were retro-spectively investigated by stratified cluster random sampling method in December 2022,and the Children's Emotional Adjustment Scale-Preschool Version(CEAS-P)and the Home Nurture Environment Scale for children aged 3-6 were surveyed on parents of preschool children.The t-test was used to test the difference,Spearman correlation analysis and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of preschool children's emotional competence.Results There were significant differences in emo-tional competence scores of preschool children for demographic indicators including age,place of residence,health status and whether they were only children(F/t=5.98,6.56,38.00,2.23,P＜0.01).The emotional competence of preschool children was positively correlated with the home-rearing environment(r=0.62,P＜0.01).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that diverse activities/play participation,social adaptation/self-management,and emotional warmth/self-expression in home-rearing environ-ment were positive predictors of children's emotional ability(β=0.30,0.28,0.16),while neglect/intervention/punishment were negative predictors(β=-0.09)(P＜0.05).Conclusions The home-rearing environment is a factor related to young children's emo-tional competence.It is suggested specific parenting initiatives such as enriching family activities and play,strengthening children's self-adaptation and management,giving warmth and let children express emotions,and preventing child neglect,interference and punishment should be conducted to improve children's emotional competence.
