Abstract
Parental incarceration is associated with strains on family financial resources and decreases in the existing caregiver's emotional well-being. Parental incarceration is also correlated with children's deteriorating emotional regulation. However, the impact of the existing caregiver’s income and emotional coping strategies on the child’s emotional regulation has not yet received systematic study. This paper examines caregivers’ income and self-reported emotion coping strategies in relation to children’s emotion regulation in a sample of 104 caregiver-child dyads. All caregivers were female and children (43.4% male) were in grades kindergarten through five. Analyses explored the moderating impact of family income and caregiver coping strategies on and their children’s emotion regulation and found significant results for both. Keywords: Parental incarceration, emotion regulation, coping mechanisms, demographic predictors, income
