The development of self- and emotional regulatory processes helps
children to regulate their behavior based on their cultural context
and to develop positive social relationships. This handbook brings
together heretofore disparate literatures on self- and emotional
regulation, brain and physiological processes, mastery motivation,
and atypical development to highlight how mastery motivation is
related to self-regulation and to clarify the relation between
these various processes. Authors from a variety of countries and
backgrounds provide an integrated, up-to-date review of the
research and the key theoretical models to demonstrate how these
processes relate to cultural and individual differences in both
typical and atypical development. The renowned editors, all experts
in a particular domain of self-regulation, provide section opening
chapters that review the literature, provide a perspective that
explains the findings, and suggest directions for future research.
Although the focus is on quantitative studies, some qualitative
findings and research using brain imaging methodologies are
included. Outstanding features include: Reviews the development of
self and emotional regulation from infancy through adolescence.
Contributors from various countries and backgrounds provide an
integrative review of the literature to guide the direction of
future research. Features contributions from those who have had a
strong impact on self-regulation research. Reviews research on
developmental disorders that have implications for self-regulation.
There are four sections. Section one introduces the development of
self- and emotional regulation. This section reviews how
self-regulation adapts based on personal and culturally-based goals
and how individual differences predispose some to behavior
disorders. Socialization influences are examined including a look
at when typical regulation processes go awry. Section 2 examines
physiological and brain processes as they relate to the development
of typical and atypical processes, along with neurocognitive
development of performance monitoring and how these processes
change over time, cortical activation differences, and behavioral
and electrocortical measures of attentional bias. Section 3 reviews
the development of self-regulation and mastery motivation including
a review of the Dimensions of Mastery Questionnaire (DMQ),
cross-national comparisons, and what the DMQ can tell us about
self-regulation. The section concludes with a look at the
development of self-regulation and mastery motivation in
individuals with a developmental disability. Section 4 examines
self-regulation in atypical development and evidence-based
treatment approaches in children with ADHD, autism, and Down
syndrome. This book is intended for researchers, graduate students,
and practitioners in psychology, neuroscience, human development,
and education interested in the development of self and emotional
regulatory processes.
