Abstract: The study adopted classical tasks of executive function and emotional competence to investigate the relationship between executive function and emotional competence among 79 children at age of 4 years old, and explored the role of language. The results indicated:1) Children's executive function and emotional competence was correlated significantly with each other, and the inhibition effected on emotional competence mainly. 2) Children's language was partial mediating the link between executive function and emotional competence. 3) Children's executive function could effect emotional competence directly, but also effect indirectly by language. Our results suggested that the executive function (e.g. inhibition) effects 4-years-old children's emotional competence, and language plays a partial mediating role.

Key words: executive function, emotional competence, language

摘要: 采用标准的执行功能与情绪胜任力测试任务,考察了79名4岁幼儿执行功能与情绪胜任力之间的关系,并进一步探究语言在其中的作用。结果发现,(1)执行功能与情绪胜任力之间显著正相关,且主要表现为抑制控制对情绪胜任力的影响。(2)中介分析表明,语言在执行功能对幼儿情绪胜任力的影响中起到部分中介作用。研究表明,执行功能(尤其是抑制控制)对4岁幼儿情绪胜任力发展具有重要作用,且语言在其中起到部分中介作用。
