ABSTRACT

Meta-analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between self-regulation and psychosocial adjustment (i.e., externalizing behavior, internalizing behavior, addiction, and social competence) in preschool and elementary school children using 62 studies published in Korean journals. Results revealed significant associations between children’s self-regulation and all indicators of psychosocial outcomes. Additionally, subtypes of self-regulation, child’s sex and age, and informants of rating emerged as moderators of the relationship between self-regulation and psychosocial adjustment in exploratory analyses. This study represents an initial attempt to integrate previous studies on children’s self-regulation and psychosocial outcomes. Based on these findings, specifically targeting self-regulatory abilities were discussed as a way of promoting children’s adjustment across multiple domains.
