The purpose of this study was to examine the relations of emotion intelligence, teacher-student relationship, and emotion regulation of lower-level students. The research subjects were 60 teachers and 469 lower level students (234 boys and 235 girls, average age = 87.31 months old) from elementary schools of Tainan City. There were three research instruments. Teacher Emotional Intelligence Scale was used to assess teacher's emotional intelligence, including self-stimulation, the self-awareness of emotion and expression, the recognition of self emotion, the management of self emotion, and the emotional intelligence in regulating other's emotion. The short form of Student-Teacher Relationship Scale was used to assess the conflict and closeness of a teacher's relationship with a particular student. Perceptual sensitivity, attention focusing and inhibitory control subscales of Children's Behavior Questionnaire were used to assess emotion regulation of children. All questionnaires were rated by the teacher. The major finding was that children's emotion regulation was positively related to teacher emotion intelligence and their teacher-student relationship. Teacher emotion intelligence predicted teacher-student relationship and children's emotion regulation. Teacher-student relationship predicted children's emotion regulation. Moreover, teacher emotion intelligence and teacher-student relationship contributed more to the children's emotion regulation when combined rather than alone. Teacher-student relationship served as the mediator between teacher emotion intelligence and children's emotion regulation. In addition, the results showed that children's age was positively related to their emotional regulation. There were gender differences in children's emotion regulation and their teacher-student relationship. According to the research results, the researcher provided suggestions for teachers on understanding and guidance of children's emotion regulation. |
