摘要：The relationship between parent`s attitude toward children`s emotional expressiveness and children`s emotional intelligence(EI) was investigated with the Parent Attitude toward Children`s Expressiveness Scale(Saarni,1990),and children`s EI was assessed by a teacher rating scale developed by Kim(1999). The subjects were 121 triads of 3- to 6-year-old children and their mothers and fathers. Data were analyzed by frequencies,percentiles,means,standard deviations,Cronbach`s α,two-way ANOVAs,Pearson`s correlations,and multiple regression. Results indicated differences in level of EI as a function of gender and age;differences in both mother`s and father`s attitudes toward children`s expressiveness as a function of children`s gender and age;and positive correlation between mother`s and father`s attitudes toward emotional expressiveness and children`s EI. Children`s age and parental attitude toward children`s emotional expressiveness explained 46.7% of children`s EI.
