Zusammenfassung: | A growing body of research has highlighted the connection between parent–child positive behavioral synchrony and youth self‐regulation; however, this association has yet to be the focus of a meta‐analytic review. Therefore, the present meta‐analysis aimed to estimate the magnitude of the relation between parent–child positive behavioral synchrony and youth self‐regulation and to identify moderator variables that can explain the variability in the degree of this association across the extant literature. A thorough literature search of two major databases, in addition to scanning the reference sections of relevant articles, yielded a total of 10 peer‐reviewed articles (24 effect sizes, 658 children) that were eligible for inclusion in the current meta‐analysis. Results from the overall mean effect size calculation using a random‐effects model indicated that parent–child positive behavioral synchrony was significantly, positively correlated with youth self‐regulation and the effect size was medium. Children's ages at the time of synchrony and self‐regulation measurements, as well as parent gender, served as significant moderator variables. Findings from the present meta‐analysis can help to refine existing theoretical models on the role of the parent–child relationship in youth adjustment. Prevention and intervention efforts may benefit from an increased emphasis on building parent–child positive behavioral synchrony to promote youth self‐regulation and thus children's overall well‐being.
Una creciente recopilación de estudios de investigación ha destacado la conexión entre la sincronía conductual positiva de padres e hijos y la autorregulación de los jóvenes; sin embargo, esta asociación aún no ha sido el eje de un análisis metanalítico. Por lo tanto, el presente metanálisis tuvo como finalidad calcular la magnitud de la relación entre la sincronía conductual positiva entre padres e hijos y la autorregulación de los jóvenes, e identificar variables moderadoras que puedan explicar la variabilidad en el grado de esta asociación en toda la bibliografía existente. Una búsqueda exhaustiva de bibliografía en dos bases de datos importantes, además de una lectura rápida de las secciones de referencia de artículos relevantes, arrojaron un total de 10 artículos revisados por expertos (24 tamaños del efecto, 658 niños) que reunían los criterios para ser incluidos en el presente metanálisis. Los resultados del cálculo del promedio general del tamaño del efecto mediante |
