Purpose: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the overall effects of self-regulation interventions for children living in poverty. Methods: The initial search identified 473 publications of randomized controlled trials, including 25 that met the inclusion criteria. We used a random effect meta-analysis with robust variance estimation to calculate the overall and subgroup effects. Meta-regression was used to examine the moderating effects of intervention approach, outcome category, measurement approach, and participant age. Results: A small to medium but significant overall impact was found ( g = 0.35, 95% confidence interval = [0.29, 0.41]). Behavioral interventions had the greatest overall effect and greatest subgroup effects on behavioral outcomes and emotional outcomes. Age and measurement approach were found to have significant moderating effects. Conclusions: Behavioral interventions should be put more attention to during the self-regulation intervention on children living in poverty. In addition, inducing the intervention for children at younger ages might be more efficient.

美国生活贫困儿童的自我调节干预：系统评价


目的： 本系统评价和荟萃分析旨在调查自我调节干预对贫困儿童的总体影响。方法： 初步检索确定了 473 篇随机对照试验出版物，其中 25 篇符合纳入标准。我们使用具有稳健方差估计的随机效应 meta 分析来计算总体效应和亚组效应。采用 Meta 回归检查干预方法、结局类别、测量方法和参与者年龄的调节作用。结果：发现小到中等但显着的总体影响 （ g = 0.35,95% 置信区间 = [0.29， 0.41]）。行为干预对行为结局和情绪结局的总体影响最大，亚组效应最大。发现年龄和测量方法具有显着的调节作用。结论： 在对贫困儿童进行自我调节干预时，应更加重视行为干预。此外，对年龄较小的儿童进行干预可能更有效。
