The aim of this study and diploma thesis was to examine the link between parents’ metaemotion philosophy and socioemotional development of preschool children. The study was conducted online by a questionnaire throughout May 2021 and it included 239 preschool parents (2 to 7 years of age). An "Emotion Related Parenting Styles" questionnaire (ERPS; Paterson, et al., 2012) was used to test parental philosophies on meta-emotion and "Scoring the Strengths & Difficulties Questionnaire" (SDQ; Goodman, 1997) which was used by parents to estimate abilities and difficulties of their children. The results of the research showed the existence of correlation between parental philosophies on meta-emotion and children's abilities and difficulties. There was a significant definable positive correlation between insecurity / inefficiencies in emotional socialization and children's behavioral and emotional problems, problems in relationships with peers and hyperactivity, and a significant negative correlation with prosocial behavior. A significant positive correlation was seen between the variables of managing emotions and prosocial behavior, but also in accepting negative emotions and children's behavioral problems. The variable for rejection of negative emotions showed no significant correlation with variables of children's abilities and difficulties. The acquired results indicate the existence of correlation between the parental philosophy of meta-emotions and their demographic characteristics (age, education and place of residence) but lack of correlation between the parental philosophy of meta-emotions and the demographic characteristics of the child. Acceptance of negative emotions variable was defined as significantly positively related to parents' demographic characteristics, while the variables of insecurity / inefficiency in emotional socialization and rejection of negative emotions were significantly negatively correlated to parents' demographics. The emotion management variable was the only one that did not show a significant association with any of the variables of parental demographic characteristics.
