Emotion dysregulation in children with autism: A multimethod investigation of the role of child and parent factors
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Children with autism have been found to experience greater difficulties with emotion regulation than peers without autism. Characteristics related to autism (i.e., social communication challenges, restricted repetitive behaviours, inhibitory control difficulties) and external parent factors (i.e., parent stress, mindful parenting) have been suggested to contribute to the emotion dysregulation (ED) experienced by youth with autism. The current study evaluated associations between child and parent factors and two indices of child ED (parent report and observational behaviour coding), in 44 children with autism, ages 8–13 years. Child autism symptomology, inhibitory control difficulties, parental stress and mindful parenting were all associated with parent reported ED, but not with observed ED. Similarly, linear regressions revealed that these factors jointly predicted parent reported ED, but not observed ED. Restricted interests/repetitive behaviours and inhibitory control difficulties emerged as unique positive predictors of parent reported ED. Findings highlight the importance of using a multimethod approach and of considering child- and parent-level factors when investigating ED in children with autism.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
