Brief Overview: Discerning the processes by which children develop and function in adaptive or competent ways despite extreme stress, disadvantage, or adversity offers considerable promise for elucidating developmental theory, as well as for guiding prevention, intervention, and policy initiatives. The traits which contribute to resilience and the mechanisms that facilitate its operation will be explored, as will the potential clinical applications of that knowledge. Based on a view of resilience as a transactional process that occurs in the context of an organizational framework, the goal of the planning committee is to incorporate discussions of genetic, biological, psychological, and sociological factors as they relate to resilience among children and adolescents.

Theme:

Despite general agreement within the discipline of developmental and clinical psychology that self-regulation skills emerge and support competent functioning during early childhood, there has been considerable conceptual ambiguity, as well as a lack of specificity, with regard to the processes that comprise the construct of self-regulation. Recently, the field of child temperament has offered an explanation of how the toddler’s emerging repertoire of self-initiated and independent behavior is supported by a class of control mechanisms that are observed across multiple levels of analysis. In this approach, advocated by Posner, Rothbart and others, self-regulation is defined as the child’s ability to modulate behavior according to the cognitive, emotional, and social demands of a particular situation, with attentional control mechanisms playing a critical role in such behavioral modulation. During this semester, we will examine the construct of self-regulation from a conceptual and empirical perspective with guest speakers who study self-regulatory processes at different levels of analysis. Our goal is to describe the state of the field, evaluate the conceptual and empirical approaches currently in use, and think about future directions and implications of this area of developmental science.
