Self-Regulation in Young Children: Is There a Role for Sociodramatic Play?

Elias, Cynthia L.; Berk, Laura E.

Early Childhood Research Quarterly, v17 n2 p216-38 2002

Explored contributions of complex sociodramatic play (CSP) in early childhood to self-regulation development for impulsive and nonimpulsive preschoolers. Found that Time 1 CSP positively correlated with, and solitary dramatic play negatively correlated with, self-regulation during Time 2 clean-up periods. The CSP/self-regulation relationship was especially strong for high-impulsive children, but nil for low-impulsive children. (Author/KB)
