Abstract

Purpose: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the overall effects of self-regulation interventions for children living in poverty. Methods: The initial search identified 473 publications of randomized controlled trials, including 25 that met the inclusion criteria. We used a random effect meta-analysis with robust variance estimation to calculate the overall and subgroup effects. Meta-regression was used to examine the moderating effects of intervention approach, outcome category, measurement approach, and participant age. Results: A small to medium but significant overall impact was found ( g = 0.35, 95% confidence interval = [0.29, 0.41]). Behavioral interventions had the greatest overall effect and greatest subgroup effects on behavioral outcomes and emotional outcomes. Age and measurement approach were found to have significant moderating effects. Conclusions: Behavioral interventions should be put more attention to during the self-regulation intervention on children living in poverty. In addition, inducing the intervention for children at younger ages might be more efficient.

美国生活贫困儿童的自我调节干预：系统回顾

目的：本系统综述和荟萃分析旨在研究针对贫困儿童的自我调节干预措施的总体效果。研究方法初步检索发现了 473 篇随机对照试验出版物，其中 25 篇符合纳入标准。我们使用随机效应荟萃分析法和稳健方差估计法来计算总体效应和亚组效应。我们还使用了元回归法来检验干预方法、结果类别、测量方法和参与者年龄的调节作用。结果显示研究发现，干预的总体效果为小到中等，但非常显著（g = 0.35，95% 置信区间 = [0.29, 0.41]）。行为干预的总体影响最大，对行为结果和情绪结果的亚组影响也最大。年龄和测量方法具有显著的调节作用。结论在对贫困儿童进行自我调节干预时，应更加重视行为干预。此外，对年龄较小的儿童进行干预可能更有效。

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
