Emotional regulation and executive function profiles of functioning related to the social development of children

摘要

This research investigated the relation between executive function and emotion regulation. Children (N=23) ages 7-8 (M=90.67) were assessed on batteries of tests. We constructed a battery of tests that measure adequately, executive function and emotional regulation. Thanks to this battery of assessment, we get general profiles of functioning of the areas evaluated. There is a tendency of general functioning according to the sociometric status. In a future research, we would like to make this study with children with disabilities in order to understand the functioning of executive function and emotional regulation in altered development.
