The present study examines characteristics of children participating in a pilot self-regulation intervention that predict self-regulation growth over the pre-kindergarten year. The central research questions of the study were: (1) Can a pilot intervention using classroom games effectively improve children's self-regulation?; and (2) What…

Molar Functional Relations and Clinical Behavior Analysis: Implications for Assessment and Treatment
Waltz, Thomas J.; Follette, William C. – Behavior Analyst, 2009
The experimental analysis of behavior has identified several molar functional relations that are highly relevant to clinical behavior analysis. These include matching, discounting, momentum, and variability. Matching provides a broader analysis of how multiple sources of reinforcement influence how individuals choose to allocate their time and…

Thompson, Ross A. – Zero to Three (J), 2009
Self-regulatory limitations are typical of young children, whose impulsiveness, distractibility, and emotional outbursts can amuse and frustrate parents and practitioners. During the last 30 years, however, research into the development of self-regulation has revealed that early childhood is a very early stage in the maturation of brain regions…

Buckley, Lisa; Sheehan, Mary; Chapman, Rebekah – Journal of Drug Education, 2009
Typically adolescents' friends are considered a risk factor for adolescent engagement in risk-taking. This study took a more novel approach, by examining adolescent friendship as a protective factor. In particular it investigated friends' potential to intervene to reduce risk-taking. Five-hundred-forty adolescents (mean age 13.47 years) were asked…

Betts, Jennifer; Gullone, Eleonora; Allen, J. Sabura – British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2009
Given that depression is a debilitating disorder, it is critical that we advance our understanding about the aetiology of this disorder. This study investigated both traditional (temperament and parenting) and novel (emotion regulation strategy) risk factors associated with adolescent depression. Forty-four adolescents (12-16 years; 64% females)…

Freado, Mark D.; Stockstill, Kraig – Reclaiming Children and Youth, 2009
When conflict between adult and youth arises, each side quickly draws lines in the sand, daring the other person to cross the line. The tendency is to react in ways easiest and most convenient for oneself, rather than to maintain a proactive stance that aggressively meets the needs of the child and employs two of the most important…

Compas, Bruce E. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2009
This chapter identifies four challenges to the study of the development of coping and regulation and outlines specific theoretical and empirical strategies for addressing them. The challenges are (1) to integrate work on coping and processes of emotion regulation, (2) to use the integration of research on neuro-biology and context to inform the…

DeScioli, Peter; Kurzban, Robert – Cognition, 2009
Evolutionary theories of morality, beginning with Darwin, have focused on explanations for altruism. More generally, these accounts have concentrated on conscience (self-regulatory mechanisms) to the neglect of condemnation (mechanisms for punishing others). As a result, few theoretical tools are available for understanding the rapidly…
