Relations with Adjustment

A
variety of constructs have historically been considered when discussing emotion regulation. Eisenberg
will discuss different conceptualizations of
emotion-related regulation and differentiate between effortful control and aspects
of control that are less voluntary (reactive
control). After briefly discussing how these
constructs are typically measured, she will
discuss the possible relationship between
self-regulation and reactive control, and
how it relates to adjustment and maladjustment. Finally, she will briefly present findings indicating that individual differences in
children’s self-regulation appear to mediate
between positive (or negative) parenting
practices and children’s maladjustment.
