Executive functions and emotion regulation develop from early childhood to adolescence and are predictive of important psychosocial outcomes. However, despite the correlation between the two regulatory capacities, whether they are prospectively related in school-aged children remains unknown, and the direction of effects is uncertain. In this study, a sample drawn from two birth cohorts in Norway was biennially examined between the ages of 6 and 14 (n = 852, 50.1% girls, 93% Norwegian). Parents completed the Emotion Regulation Checklist, and teachers completed the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function. A random intercept cross-lagged panel model revealed that improved emotion regulation predicted increased executive functioning to the same extent throughout development, whereas enhanced executive functioning was unrelated to future changes in emotion regulation.

首先是情绪还是认知？儿童期执行功能与情绪调节的纵向关系


执行功能和情绪调节从幼儿期到青少年期发展，可预测重要的社会心理结局。然而，尽管这两种调节能力之间存在相关性，但它们在学龄儿童中是否具有前瞻性相关性仍然未知，并且影响的方向尚不确定。在这项研究中，每两年检查一次从挪威的两个出生队列中提取的样本，年龄在 6 至 14 岁之间（n = 852,50.1% 的女孩，93% 的挪威人）。家长完成了情绪调节检查表，老师完成了执行功能行为评级量表。随机截距交叉滞后面板模型显示，改善的情绪调节预示着在整个发育过程中执行功能的增加达到相同程度，而增强的执行功能与情绪调节的未来变化无关。
