Research on the development of emotion regulation in childhood and adolescence suggests that the etiology of the phenomenon is multifactorial and that it is necessary to investigate the broader contextual aspects. Coparenting is a contextual variable that has been associated with outcomes in children and may be related to emotional regulation. The aim of this study was to test a structural model of direct and indirect relationship between mothers' emotional dysregulation and the perception of their adolescent children’s emotional regulation, evaluating the mediating role of coparenting. This is a quantitative, cross-sectional and explanatory study conducted with 210 mothers of adolescents (M = 15.59, SD = 1.39 years old). The sociodemographic questionnaire, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), the Emotion Regulation Checklist (ERC) and the Coparenting Inventory for Parents and Adolescents (CI-PA) were administered online. Descriptive analyses, correlational analysis and structural modeling equations were conducted. The interactional model points to the partial mediating effect of coparenting in this relationship, as well as the indirect effect of the mothers' emotion dysregulation on the emotional regulation of the adolescents. The results also pointed out that the mothers' emotional dysregulation seems to have a detrimental impact on coparental cooperation. These results are important factors to be considered in the clinical context when working with adolescence and their families.
