DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Recent research in clinical and developmental psychology has focused on the processes that lead to childhood adjustment problems. This research demonstrates that many adjustment problems of childhood are characterized by failures of self-regulation. Difficulties in the regulation of arousal and behavior are related to specific disorders of childhood, including attention deficit disorder and conduct problems, and related problems in family relationships, social competence, and school performance. Recent work by the Principal Investigator demonstrates that the construct of self-regulation may be usefully studied using a multi-component approach that specifies discrete levels of self-regulation (physiological, attentional, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive). Longitudinal research that the Principal Investigator has been conducting over the last ten years, following several cohorts of infants and children, has utilized this multi-component approach. The K02 award period will be used to continue work on the role of self-regulatory process in early childhood behavior disorders and to expand the Principal Investigator 's expertise in 4 core areas that will contribute to the elaboration of this model of self-regulation and developmental psychopathology. The specific aims are to: (1) further examine sub-domains of self-regulation, with specific emphasis on the cognitive skills that are characteristic of infants and children; (2) understand the possible genetic and biological contributions to self-regulation and developmental psychopathology, particularly in the context of specific rearing environments; (3) examine environmental effects on trajectories of self-regulation, particularly family processes and marital functioning; and (4) acquire skills that would facilitate the longitudinal analyses of trajectories of self-regulation and behavior problems of childhood. The goal of this award will be to initiate work on a new longitudinal study of infant and child psychopathology. This study will focus on genetic, biological, and contextual risks that affect the development of core.regulatory processes in the context of family conflict and.violence.

描述（由申请人提供）：临床和发育心理学方面的最新研究集中在导致儿童调整问题的过程上。这项研究表明，许多童年的调整问题的特征是自我调节的失败。唤醒和行为的调节困难与童年的特定疾病有关，包括注意力缺陷障碍和引起问题以及家庭关系，社会能力和学校表现的相关问题。首席研究者的最新工作表明，可以使用多组分方法来有效地研究自我调节的结构，该方法指定自我调节的离散水平（生理，注意力，情感，行为和认知）。在过去的十年中，在几个婴儿和儿童中，主要研究者一直在进行了这一多组分方法。 K02奖项将用于继续从事自我调节过程在幼儿行为障碍中的作用，并扩大主要研究者在四个核心领域的专业知识，这将有助于阐述这种自我调节和发展心理病理学模型。具体的目的是：（1）进一步检查自我调节的子域，并特别强调婴儿和儿童的特征的认知能力； （2）了解自我调节和发育心理病理学的遗传和生物学贡献，尤其是在特定的饲养环境的背景下； （3）检查对自我调节轨迹的环境影响，尤其是家庭过程和婚姻功能； （4）获取技能，可以促进对自我调节和童年行为问题的纵向分析。该奖项的目标是开始对婴儿和儿童心理病理学的新纵向研究。这项研究将着重于影响核心发展的遗传，生物学和上下文风险。
