Self-regulation in children

本项目旨在协调教育和认知心理学的见解，开发一个自我调节的综合模型，并使用与现有实践兼容的低成本自我调节干预来评估它。学龄前自我调节能力较低的儿童，成年后智力、健康、财富和反社会行为更可能较差。然而，这些知识还没有产生一个理解自我调节变化的框架，也没有产生特别成功的方法来实施这种变化。该项目有望为家长、教育工作者和政府提供理论和实证策略，为幼儿提供最好的人生开端。

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.
