Self-regulation in children

该项目旨在协调教育学和认知心理学的见解，以开发一个综合的自我调节模式，并使用符合现有做法的低成本自我调节干预措施对其进行评估。学龄前自我调节能力低的儿童在成年后更有可能在智力、健康、财富和反社会方面取得更差的结果。然而，这种知识还没有产生一个理解自律变化的框架，也没有产生实施这种变化的特别成功的方法。该项目预计将为家长、教育工作者和政府提供基于理论和证据的战略，为幼儿提供尽可能好的人生开端。

This project aims to reconcile insights from education and cognitive psychology to develop an integrative model of self-regulation and evaluate it using a low-cost self-regulation intervention compatible with existing practices. Children with low self-regulation in the preschool years are likelier to have poorer intellectual, health, wealth and anti-social outcomes in adulthood. However, this knowledge has not yet yielded a framework for understanding self-regulatory change, nor generated particularly successful methods for enacting this change. This project is expected to provide theory- and evidence-based strategies for parents, educators and governments to give young children the best possible start in life.
