Book Description

Opening with a discussion on the need to integrate self-regulation processes and to create a life-span oriented framework of these processes, this volume explores several perspectives in the current scholarship. Chapter contributors examine theoretical concepts including

  • Vygotsky/Luria Insights in the Development of Executive Functions
  • Self-Regulation and Academic Achievement in Elementary School Children
  • Influences of Children?s and Adolescents? Action-Control Processes on School Achievement, Peer Relationships, and Coping with Challenging Life Events
  • Intentional Self-Regulation, Ecological Assets, and Thriving in Adolescence: A Developmental Systems Model
  • and a Life-Span, Relational, Public Health Model of Self- Regulation: Impact on Individual and Community Health

The volume concludes with New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development series editor-in-chief Reed W. Larson discussing the challenges reported by youth working on arts, technology, and social justice projects in organized programs and how they learn to address them.

This is the 133nd volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development. The mission of this series is to provide scientific and scholarly presentations on cutting edge issues and concepts in the field of child and adolescent development. Each volume focuses on a specific new direction or research topic, and is edited by an expert or experts on that topic.

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

FROM THE EDITORS

In the last decade, self-regulation has emerged as a burgeoning area of research that is critical to enhancing our understanding of human development. Both organismic and intentional self-regulation processes must be integrated across childhood and adolescence for adaptive developmental regulations to exist and for the developing person to thrive, both during the first two decades of life and across the adult years. To date, such an integrated, life-span approach to self-regulation during childhood and adolescence has not been fully formulated. This monograph provides such integration by bringing together scholars whose research has focused on age-specific facets of self-regulation processes and on the dynamics of the developmental system across the life span.
