Data for: When Progress at Work Reaches Home: Linking Parents’ Work Goal Progress to Preschoolers’ Emotion Regulation
Year: 2026
Type: dataset
Abstract: This dataset contains the de-identified data from two studies examining whether parents’ work goal progress is associated with preschoolers’ emotion regulation through a cognitive–regulatory transmission process involving work-related rumination and parental cognitive reappraisal. Study 1 included 603 working parents and used a three-wave questionnaire design. Study 2 included 238 parent–child dyads and combined parent-report measures with an observational disappointing-gift task assessing children’s emotion-regulation behavior. The data include measures of work goal progress, work-related rumination, parental cognitive reappraisal, preschoolers’ emotion regulation, and relevant demographic variables. Across both studies, the results supported the proposed serial pathway from greater work goal progress to lower work-related rumination, greater cognitive reappraisal, and better child emotion regulation. The dataset can be used to reproduce the descriptive, correlational, regression, and serial mediation analyses reported in the associated manuscript. Raw video recordings from Study 2 are not included because they contain identifiable information about child participants.
