Data were analyzed by independent t-tests,crrelations,and multiple regressions. Results demonstrated that shyness,activity,and emotion regulation had direct effects on hotlileggressive behaviors. Shy temperament had a direct efet on fearful-anxious behavior. Both marial conflict and temperament influenced hostile agressive behaviors indirectly through emotion regulation,implying a crucial role of emotion regulation in preschoolers' social development.
