Family Expressivity and Social Anxiety in Children: The Potential Mediating and Moderating Roles of Emotion Regulation
The role of children’s emotion regulation as a potential mediator or moderator in the relations between a family’s emotional expressiveness and their child’s social anxiety was explored in a sample of clinic-referred children. For the mediational analyses, it was predicted that emotional expressivit...
