Abstract

In July 2010, the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China, in the "National Medium- and Long-Term Educational Reform and Development Plan (2010–2020)," clearly affirmed the significant importance of preschool education for the physical and mental health development of young children, the formation of life habits and learning qualities, as well as cognitive and intellectual development. The "Guidelines for Kindergarten Education" also stated that "kindergartens should not only pay attention to children's physical health but also pay special attention to their mental health." This shows the increasing attention of the state and society to the mental health education of preschool children. Nowadays, preschool education often emphasizes physical health over mental health; however, true health requires both physical and mental well-being. This study focuses on the relationship between temperament types and social adaptability in children aged 1-3 years, particularly examining the mediating role of negative emotions in this relationship. Temperament, as an early manifestation of individual behavior and emotional responses, has a profound impact on children's social adaptation. Current machine learning technologies can provide more precise and efficient solutions, with deep learning techniques such as convolutional neural networks capable of extracting features from image data to improve prediction accuracy. Machine learning is playing an increasingly important role in the field of mental health, offering an efficient research method for studying temperament and social adaptation. This study uses machine learning to analyze children's facial emotions and further applies psychological measurements to analyze temperament and predict children's social adaptation.
