Abstract

Abstract This study aimed to examine the unique and joint contributions of behavioral and emotional self-regulation to key but understudied emergent literacy and early social skills, disentangling sex-differentiated paths. The participants were 231 Portuguese preschoolers (50% boys; M age = 59.5 months; SD = 8.5) enrolled in 47 classrooms. In the first assessment wave, the children’s behavioral self-regulation and receptive vocabulary were individually assessed. The teachers reported on children’s emotional self-regulation. In the second assessment wave, individual assessments on children’s expressive vocabulary, syntactic knowledge, oral-narrative production, and social problem-solving skills were conducted. The results showed that the children’s emergent literacy and early social skills were more related to their behavioral self-regulation than to their emotional self-regulation. Child sex moderated the links between behavioral self-regulation and oral-narrative production skills and the link between emotional self-regulation and early social skills. These findings may have important implications for planning early interventions for developing self-regulation skills.

行为和情绪自我调节对入学准备的独特和共同贡献

摘要本研究旨在检验行为和情绪自我调节对关键但研究不足的新兴素养和早期社交技能的独特和共同贡献，解开性别差异路径。参与者为231名葡萄牙学龄前儿童（50%为男孩；M年龄=59.5 月；SD = 8.5）在47间教室注册。在第一波评估中，对儿童的行为自我调节和接受性词汇进行了单独评估。老师们报告了孩子们的情绪自我调节。在第二次评估浪潮中，对儿童的表达词汇、句法知识、口头叙事制作和社会问题解决技能进行了个人评估。结果表明，儿童的突发识字能力和早期社交技能与其说与情绪自我调节有关，不如说与行为自我调节有关。儿童性调节了行为自我调节与口头叙事制作技能之间的联系，以及情绪自我调节与早期社交技能之间的关系。这些发现可能对规划早期干预措施以培养自我调节技能具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： The focus of this multidisciplinary journal is the synthesis of research and application to promote positive development across the life span and across the globe. The journal publishes research that generates descriptive and explanatory knowledge about dynamic and reciprocal person-environment interactions essential to informed public dialogue, social policy, and preventive and development optimizing interventions. This includes research relevant to the development of individuals and social systems across the life span -- including the wide range of familial, biological, societal, cultural, physical, ecological, political and historical settings of human development.
