Executive functions (EF) have been identified as important predictors of children's proximal and distal development. Recent research highlights pretend play as a potential mechanism for EF development, and there has been a call to identify for whom pretense in most beneficial.

Research has recognized that people regulate their emotions not only for seeking pleasurable experiences but also for receiving instrumental gains. We draw on the theoretical framework of instrumental emotion regulation (IER; Tamir, 2005, 2009) to shed new light on the relationships among creativity, emotion, and psychological well-being. We…

Early development of emotion regulation plays a vital role in children's school readiness and later academic success. Most studies on toddlers' emotion regulation are laboratory-based and correlational research. Little attention has been paid to their development of emotion regulation in daily parent-toddler interactions in naturalistic contexts.…

This paper examines the relationship between early geometric skills, behavioral self-regulation skills, teacher-mother reported self-regulation skills, child age and family income in 5-6 year-old children. The participants (N = 202; 104 girls, 98 boys) average age was 71 months (sd = 4.82; Data on race/ethnicity were not asked to participants).…

Due to the increase in online learning over the years, it is particularly important to understand how students can learn effectively in the digital space (Morrealeet al., 2021). The need for more online pedagogy research was made especially clear by the urgent shift to online learning during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in early 2020,…

This study explored the psychosocial determinants of consumption of soda and other taxed sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) in Mexican construction workers (CWs) and whether consumption changed as a result of the 2014 SSB tax. We conducted a qualitative case study involving in-depth interviews and focus groups (FGs) with 30 Mexican CWs; supplemented…

This study evaluates the feasibility of the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery (NIH-TCB) for use in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). 116 autistic children and adolescents and 80 typically developing (TD) controls, ages 3-17 years, completed four NIH-TCB tasks related to inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, processing speed, and episodic memory.…

Despite decades of robust evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of self-monitoring for attention, the strategy is not universally taught to students who struggle with attention, particularly within general education settings. Recent studies have included technology such as tablets or smartphones, adding to the ease and social acceptability of…

A substantive body of research demonstrates negative bias toward reporting characteristics of young people associated with bullying and cyberbullying in schools, as both victims and perpetrators. The current study proposes a different approach. A sample of 2,799 postprimary school pupils aged 12 to 19 years (M = 15.5, SD = 1.66), divided equally…

It investigates the internal feedback that students generate when they compare their work with the work of peers and with comments received from peers. Inner feedback was made explicit by having students write an account of what they were learning from making these different…

Little is known about the development of self-regulation processes during the preschool period in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). How parental characteristics such as the broader autism phenotype (BAP) relate to children's self-regulation is not well understood. Preschool-aged children with (n = 24) and without ASD (n = 21) completed an inhibitory…
