我们研究了儿童从幼儿期到学龄早期（即 2 至 7.5 岁）的抑制控制发展情况，调查了家庭检查对抑制控制发展的影响，并探讨了这种影响是否会转移到学校环境中。参与者为 731 名低收入儿童（49% 为女性）。结果表明，父母对抑制控制的报告显示，随着时间的推移，生长速度减慢，呈正向、非线性增加。此外，与对照条件相比，干预条件下的儿童在父母抑制控制评分方面表现出更高水平的增长。更重要的是，干预通过促进抑制控制的增长，间接影响了教师对儿童自我控制和对抗性挑衅行为的报告，以及考官对自我控制的评分。除了减少早期问题行为之外，还讨论了这些发现对于更具体地促进幼儿期自我调节的影响。
We examined the development of children’s inhibitory control from toddlerhood to early school-age (i.e., ages 2 to 7.5 years), investigated the effects of the Family Check-Up on the growth of inhibitory control, and explored whether such effects transferred to the school context. Participants were 731 low-income children (49 % female). Results indicated that parental reports of inhibitory control showed positive, nonlinear increase with the growth decelerating over time. Moreover, children in the intervention condition demonstrated higher levels of growth in parental ratings of inhibitory control compared to the control condition. More importantly, the intervention had indirect effects on teacher reports of children’s self-control and oppositional defiant behavior as well as examiner ratings of self-control through its promotion of growth in inhibitory control. The findings are discussed with respect to implications for more specifically targeting the promotion of self-regulation in early childhood in addition to reduction in early problem behavior.
