“…This literature began with a focus on the influence of children’s cognitive capacities on self-control (Mischel, 1983; Peake, Hebl, & Mischel, 2002; Sethi, Mischel, Aber, Shoda, & Rodriguez, 2000), which has evolved to include rigorous examinations of the contextual influences at play (i.e., Feldman & Klein, 2003; Jacobsen, 1998). From these contextual models of self-control, results indicate that maternal presence (Cournoyer & Trudel, 1991; Vaughn, Kopp, Krakow, Johnson, & Schwartz, 1986) and, further, particular components of parenting style, including directiveness or controlling/intrusive parenting, influence this aspect of children’s self-regulation (Russell et al, 2013; Silverman & Ippolito, 1995; Silverman & Ragusa, 1990). It is likely that these social influences generalize to other aspects of self-regulation beyond those concerned with self-control, as parental scaffolding in a responsive manner is also likely to shape children’s emotion regulation strategies.…”
