RETRACTION: H. Schmidt, M. Daseking, C. Gawrilow, J. Karbach, and J. Kerner auch Koerner, “Self-Regulation in Preschool: Are Executive Function and Effortful Control Overlapping Constructs?,” Developmental Science 25, no. 6 (2022): e13272, https://doi.org/10.1111/desc.13272

Abstract

The above article, originally published online on April 28, 2022, in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by mutual agreement of the authors; the journal's Editor-in-Chief, Heather Bortfeld; and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The retraction was made after the authors identified an error in their model comparison test, which affected the article's conclusions. Upon reevaluation, the authors found that a two-factor model incorporating executive function and effortful control provides the best fit for the data, contradicting the primary claim of the original article. However, the authors emphasize that this updated finding is still consistent with the integrated model of self-regulation discussed in the article. A revised version of this article is forthcoming.
