Summary:

For researchers, graduate students, and practitioners in psychology, neuroscience, human development, and education, Barrett (Colorado State U.), Fox, Morgan, Fidler, and Daunhauer compile 20 chapters on self-regulatory processes in development. Researchers working in various areas, including development, from the US, Canada, and Europe discuss the development of self and emotional regulation, including how self-regulation adapts based on personal and culturally-based goals and how individual differences predispose some to behavior disorders; socialization influences; physiological and brain processes related to the development of typical and atypical processes, and the neurocognitive development of performance monitoring and how these processes change over time. They consider cortical activation differences; behavioral and electrocortical measures of attentional bias; the development of self-regulation and mastery motivation, including a review of the Dimensions of Mastery Questionnaire, cross-national comparisons, and what the questionnaire can reveal about self-regulation; the development of self-regulation and mastery motivation in individuals with a developmental disability; and self-regulation in atypical development and treatment approaches in children with ADHD, autism, and Down syndrome.
