USA"This thoughtful and thought-provoking book on self-regulation by internationally renowned researchers will appeal to scholars and students alike. This book is both unique and compelling in its examination of self-regulation in all children! including those with typical and atypical pathways of development." Penny Hauser-Cram! Boston College! USA"This handbook will be a critical reference for both scientists and students. The singularly impressive cast of leading researchers has bridged neurobiological! cognitive! affective and social perspectives on the development of self-regulation.? This will stand as both a comprehensive guide for understanding this vitally important topic and a framework for advancing the next generation of studies on self-regulation."- Paul D. Hastings! University of California! Davis! USA"More and more psychologists ... are talking now as if self-regulation is one of the most important ? aspects of human behavior and human development. ?People in ? various areas ... could profit from having all of this material easily accessible in one place.

USA Informationen zum Autor Karen Caplovitz Barrett, Ph.D., is Professor and Assistant Department Head of Human Development and Family Studies at Colorado State University. Her research takes a functionalist approach to studying emotion processes and their development, with a particular focus on emotion regulation and "social emotions" (such as guilt and shame) during early development, and on cultural and other socialization influences on these processes. Current research projects are in three major areas: (1) the effect of early intervention on early socioemotional competence and school readiness, and on prevention of emotion regulation difficulties; (2) how emotion regulatory and self-regulatory processes develop during early childhood, in typical, atypical, and at-risk populations; and (3) how social emotions develop during early childhood, and how socialization and cultural beliefs impact this development. Nathan A. Fox , Ph.D., is Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Human Development at the University of Maryland College Park. Professor Fox has completed research on the biological bases of social and emotional behavior developing methods for assessing brain activity in infants and young children during tasks designed to elicit a range of emotions. His work is funded by the National Institutes of Health where he was awarded a MERIT award for excellence of his research program examining soci...
