The Relation from Perceived Parenting to Psychological Resilience in Emerging Adults: The Mediating Role of Emotion Crafting
Summary
There is limited research regarding proactive, positive emotion regulation, how it emerges, and its contribution to psychological resilience. This study aimed to fill this gap by examining the relation between perceived parenting practices (i.e., warmth, autonomy support) and psychological resilience via emotion crafting awareness and action in emerging adults. In total, 124 emerging adults completed the online survey. Results indicated that maternal warmth and autonomy support was not directly, yet indirectly related to psychological resilience through emotion crafting awareness. Emotion crafting action did not significantly mediate this relation. Furthermore, paternal warmth and autonomy support did not exert a significant direct or indirect effect on resilience via awareness or action. Implications and directions for future research are outlined. These results add to the literature by showing the importance of emotion crafting awareness in the relation between perceived parenting and resilience in emerging adults.
