Subjects were 138 4- to 5-year-old preschoolers (92 boys,46 girls) and their mothers. The matermal behavioral inhibition/ behavioral activation system was measured by BIS/BAS (Behavioral Inhibition System/Behavioral Activation System,Carver & White,1994),matermal emotional expressiveness was measured by the Self-Expressiveness in the Family Questionnaire (Haberstadt,1995),and children's emotional itelligence was measured by the Emotional Itelligence Questionnaire (Lee,1998). Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and mutiple regression analysis. Results were that matemal positive expressiveness mediated the efects of matemal BIS on children's self-underslanding and matemal negative expressiveness mediated the effects of matermnal BAS on children's self regulation..
