Child interactions with the environment (adults, peers, materials) constitute the engine for development and learning, especially in early stages of development. Emotionally secure, responsive, and contingent interactions with adults and peers promote emotional, cognitive, and social development. Interpersonal interactions facilitate the acquisition of social skills and emotion regulation strategies, which are learned through the observation of the behaviors of adults and peers and through the direct interactions with them. This chapter presents the theoretical foundations for considering interpersonal relations as engines of development, and synthetizes the latest results on the impact of interpersonal relationships on the development of children in natural environments (school, home, and the community).

Abstract Background Emotion regulation alters the trajectories of emotional responses and, when effective, transforms the emotional responses to help individuals adapt to their environment. Previous research has mainly focused on the efficiency of regulation strategies performed individually at a given time. Yet, in daily life, it is likely that several strategies are often combined. Thus, we question in this study the combinatorial efficiency of two emotion regulation strategies, Situation selection and Emotional suppression. Methods In a within-subject design, sixty-five participants were asked to implement either no strategy, Situation selection only, Emotional suppression only, or both strategies together (four conditions) while looking at various emotionally charged images. Experience, expressivity, and physiological arousal were recorded throughout the viewing. Repeated-measures ANOVAs and corrected post-hoc tests were used for analyzing the data. Results The results of the combined strategies showed that Emotional suppression canceled the beneficial impact of Situation selection on negative experience, while significantly increasing the impact on cardiac activity. The use of both strategies together had a greater effect on respiratory function with an enhanced decrease in respiratory rate and amplitude. Conclusions The combinatorial effect of emotion regulation strategies is different according to the emotional response that the individual needs to regulate. The simultaneous use of Situation selection and Emotional suppression could be particularly beneficial to relieve physiological symptoms.

Theoretical Foundations

Emotion regulation and dysregulation often unfold within interpersonal contexts. Parent–child relationships provide early scaffolding of emotion regulation processes. Parents attune to, and influence, their children’s emotions, through pathways such as physical touch, infant cry, facial expressions, and stress physiology. Interpersonal emotion regulation and dysregulation processes continue to evolve within other close relationship contexts such as romantic couple relationships in adulthood. Partners shape each other’s emotion regulation through stress contagion and physiological interconnection, and through interactions that can be conflictual or supportive. This chapter reviews the theoretical foundations and the existing literature describing how emotion regulation and dysregulation take place within interpersonal relationships.

The Impact

Perceived social support and life-satisfaction The article concerns the relationship between life-satisfaction and the features of interpersonal relationships and social support. The research presented in this paper concerned the satisfaction with the relationships with family members, friends, colleagues and acquaintances, the extent of the relationships among these groups, and the perceived social support. The aim of the presented research is to assess the impact of these characteristics on life-satisfaction. In addition, the changes that occurred after the social skills training in the level of life-satisfaction and its determinants were examined. The study group consisted of 60 participants. The results show that the strongest determinants of life-satisfaction are practical support and the satisfaction with the relationships with friends. After the social training the structure of the determinants changed. The factors which were relevant before the training appear to be insignificant now; however, the emotional support, satisfaction with family relationships and the number of friends gain in importance. The social skills training was also effective and increased the level of life-satisfaction.

Estudio De Caso

El desarrollo social de un infante está influenciado en gran medida por el contexto familiar, porque el microsistema brinda las primeras pautas de socialización, que en el transcurso del diario vivir permitirá la adquisición de habilidades sociales básicas. El objetivo de la presente investigación es analizar la importancia del contexto familiar en el desarrollo social en la infancia, mediante un estudio de caso de corte descriptivo. El sujeto de estudio fue un niño de 5 años que inició su escolaridad desde casa a través del programa denominado Servicio de Atención Familiar para la Primera Infancia (SAFPI), en la provincia de Pichincha, Ecuador. Para la recolección de información se empleó la técnica de la observación y varios instrumentos adicionales (anamnesis familiar, las fichas del Modelo Octogonal Integrador del Desarrollo Infantil (MOIDI), guía de entrevista, escala de estimación y lista de cotejo). Finalmente, para el análisis e interpretación de los resultados se aplicaron los métodos de la heurística y la hermenéutica. A partir de los datos obtenidos y según las dimensiones de análisis del contexto familiar se identificó que el sujeto de estudio se desenvuelve en un contexto familiar seguro, que le ha permitido desarrollar ciertas habilidades sociales básicas que posteriormente se ampliarán cuando el infante se adapte a un centro educativo regular. PALABRAS CLAVE: Desarrollo social; habilidades sociales; contexto familiar; Servicio de Atención Familiar para la Primera Infancia. The family context and children's social development: a case study ABSTRACT The social development of an infant is largely influenced by the family context because the microsystem provides the first guidelines for socialization, which in the course of daily living will allow the acquisition of basic social skills. The objective of this research is to analyze the importance of the family context in social development in childhood, through a descriptive case study. The study subject was a 5-year-old boy who began his schooling from home through the program called Family Attention Service for Early Childhood (SAFPI), in the province of Pichincha, Ecuador. To collect the information, the observation technique and several additional instruments were used (family anamnesis, the files of the Octagonal Integrative Model of Child Development (MOIDI), interview guide, estimation scale and checklist). Finally, for the analysis and interpretation of the results, the methods of heuristics and hermeneutics were applied. From the data obtained and according to the dimensions of the analysis of the family context, it was identified that the study subject develops in a safe family context, which has allowed him to develop certain basic social skills that will later be expanded when the infant adapts to a regular educational center. KEYWORDS: Social development; social skills; family context; Family Care Service for Early Childhood.

This paper examined the impact of communal conflict on early childhood (the toddlers and the preschool) development in Nigeria. The position of the p a p e r is that communal conflicts in their various dimensions, inter and intra-religious, socio-political and socio-cultural have actually impacted negatively on the social, psychological and physical development of the early childhood. The author was also convinced from reviewed literature that the mental and physical health of the toddlers and preschools are affected by communal conflicts as the growing child is denied opportunities of acquiring social skills for the socio-political development of the country, Nigeria. Though the toddlers and preschools do not contribute to the executing o f the conflicts the impact fe lt by them as the adolescents and the adults. This paper, therefore, recommends among other things that counsellors and government and non-governmental agencies should never relent in advocating and campaigning for peace among the citizenry in any forum available to them. Group and individual counselling are recommended for children to enable them to forget the atrocities of the hostilities. Perpetrators of violence should never be left to go scot-free because to initiate a communal conflict is the worst crime to a nation and humanity in general.

AbstractBackground/IntroductionPsychological and physical well-being of health personnel has been significantly affected by COVID-19. Work overload and continuous exposure to positive COVID-19 cases have caused them fatigue, stress, anxiety, insomnia and other detriments. This research aims: 1) to analyze whether the use of cognitive reevaluation and emotional suppression strategies decreases and increases, respectively, stress levels of health personnel; 2) to quantify the impact of contact with patients with COVID-19 on stress’s level of medical staff.MethodEmotion regulation strategies and stress level were evaluated in 155 Dominican physicians by means of psychological tests with adequate levels of reliability. In addition, a questionnaire created by the researchers quantified the impact that contact with those infected had on their stress levels.ResultsContact with patients with COVID-19 predicts increased use of emotion suppression strategies, although is not associated with the use of cognitive reevaluation. These findings lead to an even greater increase in stress on health care providers.ConclusionsContextual contingencies demand immediate responses and may not allow health personnel to use cognitive re-evaluation strategies, leaning more towards emotion suppression. However, findings regarding high levels of stress require the implementation of intervention programs focused on the promotion of more functional emotion regulation strategies. Such programs may reduce current stress and prevent post-traumatic symptoms.
