A. Results of Mediation Analyses: Mother-Child Model
B. Results of Mediation Analyses: Father-Child Model
The mediation models of the paths from the predictor (child security to the parent at 2 years), to the mediators (emotion regulation, ER, in delay tasks at 3–5.5 years, in control contexts with the parent at 3–5.5 years, and parent-rated trait-like regulation of anger at 4.5–5.5 years), to the outcomes (social regulation, SR, of negative emotional tone in interactions with the parent, parent-rated regulation of negativity in social interactions, internalization of adults’ values at 10– 12 years). Child sex, children’s security to opposite parent at 2 years, and respective parent’s willingness to serve as attachment figure at 10–12 years are included as covariates (not depicted). Solid lines represent significant effects and dashed lines represent non-significant effects. ER = Emotion Regulation (in response to frustration). SR = Social Regulation (regulation of negative emotional tone in interaction with parent, regulation of negativity in social interaction, internalization of adults’ values).
