SSHRC IDG awarded 2023: Youth, and in particular boys, who struggle with developing skills to regulate their emotions and behavior are frequently viewed as “problematic,” “lazy,” “disruptive,” and “all over the place” in classrooms, on playgrounds, and at family dinners. Indeed, youth who struggle with selfregulation are at increased risk for short and longterm educational, professional, and interpersonal challenges. Further, our understanding of development of selfregulation is complicated by the lack of integration of two disparate yet equally relevant research literatures that have existed mainly independently in the fields of developmental psychology and cognitive europsychology. We aim to integrate these two research traditions to develop a unified, developmentally informed model of selfregulation to characterize its childhood development. Findings will contribute to developmental psychology, neuropsychology, clinical psychology, and pedagogy by yielding a better understanding of developmental trajectories of selfregulation, which may further inform expectation setting in educational environments and training for psychologists and educators.
