Autonomy-supportive parenting and associations with child and parent executive function

Creator:: Distefano, Rebecca, Galinsky, Ellen, McClelland, Megan M., Zelazo, Philip David, and Carlson, Stephanie M.
Abstract:: Autonomy-supportive parenting appears to play an important role in children's executive function (EF) development. However, few studies have accounted for parents' EF skills when examining the link between parenting and child EF in families from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. In the current study, parents and their 3- to 5-year-old children (N...

Examining the Validity of Behavioral Self-Regulation Tools in Predicting Preschoolers' Academic Achievement

Creator:: Schmitt, Sara A., Pratt, Megan E., and McClelland, Megan M.
Abstract:: The current study investigated the predictive utility among teacher-rated, observed, and directly assessed behavioral self-regulation skills to academic achievement in preschoolers. Specifically, this study compared how a teacher report, the Child Behavior Rating Scale, an observer report, the Observed Child Engagement Scale, and a direct assessment, the Head-Toes-Knees-Shoulders task, relate...

Predictors of early growth in academic achievement : the head-toes-knees-shoulders task

Creator:: McClelland, Megan M., Cameron, Claire E., Duncan, Robert, Bowles, Ryan P., Acock, Alan C., Miao, Alicia, and Pratt, Megan E.
Abstract:: Children’s behavioral self-regulation and executive function (EF; including attentional or cognitive flexibility, working memory, and inhibitory control) are strong predictors of academic achievement. The present study examined the psychometric properties of a measure of behavioral self-regulation called the Head-Toes-Knees-Shoulders (HTKS) by assessing construct validity, including relations to EF measures, and...

Exploring gender differences in self regulation among Head Start and non-Head Start kids

Creator:: Gilmore, Brittany D., McClelland, Megan M., and Duncan, Rob
Abstract:: Children’s self-regulation and socio-economic status are important factors in predicting later academic outcomes and kindergarten readiness. This study examined relationships between socio-economic status (SES), gender differences, and performance on the Heads-Toes-Knees-Shoulders (HTKS) self-regulation assessment. Using a diverse sample of 408 preschool children, results indicated: Low-income children in Head Start displayed...

Socioeconomic Status and Motor Skills in Preschool Aged Children

Creator:: Sprague, Schyler, Kile, M., Lipscomb, S., McClelland, Megan M., and MacDonald, M.
Abstract:: Fine and gross motor skills are essential for healthy development. Studies suggest that children in lower socioeconomic status (SES) families present a delay in these essential motor skills and, therefore, are at risk for poor motor skill development.This study aimed to correlate fine and gross motor skills with family socioeconomic...

Parental marital status and child self-regulation

Creator:: Gooding, Elisa K., McClelland, Megan M., and Schmitt, Sara
Abstract:: Parents play an essential role in their child’s development of the skills needed for self-regulation. The current study examined the relationship between parental marital status and child self-regulation. Analyzing a sample of 328 preschool children, results indicate having married parents is related to higher self-regulation in children. These results suggest...

Cooperation and achievement in preschoolers

Creator:: Yde, Katherine M., McClelland, Megan M., and Schmitt, Sara
Abstract:: According to recent research, children’s learning related skills, such as cooperation, self-regulation, responsibility, and independence, are closely related to their academic outcomes (McClelland, Acock, Morrison 2006). While self regulation during preschool and it’s related skills are predictors of later academic achievement, it might be beneficial to determine a simple screening...

Gender Differences in Behavioral Regulation in Four Societies: The U.S., Taiwan, South Korea, and China

Creator:: Wanless, Shannon B., McClelland, Megan M., Lan, Xuezhao, Son, Seung-Hee, Cameron, Claire E., Morrison, Frederick J., Chen, Fu-Mei, Chen, Jo-Lin, Li, Su, Lee, Kangyi, and Sung, Miyoung
Abstract:: The current study investigates gender differences in behavioral regulation in four societies: the United States, Taiwan, South Korea, and China. Directly assessed individual behavioral regulation(Head–Toes–Knees–Shoulders, HTKS), teacher-rated classroom behavioral regulation (Child Behavior Rating Scale, CBRS) and a battery of school readiness assessments (mathematics, vocabulary, and early literacy) were used with...

Behavioral Self-Regulation and Relations to Emergent Academic Skills among Children in Germany and Iceland

Creator:: von Suchodoletz, Antje, Gestsdottir, Steinunn, Wanless, Shannon B., McClelland, Megan M., Birgisdottir, Freyja, Gunzenhauser, Catherine, and Ragnarsdottir, Hrafnhildur
Abstract:: The present study investigated a direct assessment of behavioral self-regulation (the Head-Toes-Knees- Shoulders; HTKS) and its contribution to early academic achievement among young children in Germany and Iceland. The authors examined the psychometric properties and construct validity of the HTKS, investigated gender differences in young children’s behavioral self-regulation, and explored...

Growing Up with Assets and Risks: The Importance of Self-Regulation for Academic Achievement

Creator:: McClelland, Megan M. and Wanless, Shannon B.
Abstract:: This study examined children’s self-regulation, demographic risks [English Language Learner (ELL) status, being from a low-income family], and academic achievement longitudinally across four time points (fall and spring of the prekindergarten and kindergarten years). Findings suggested that assets such as high self-regulation in the fall of prekindergarten were significantly related...

Do Older Parents have More Self-Regulated Children?

Creator:: Harper, Kevin G. and McClelland, Megan M.
Abstract:: Strong self-regulation in early childhood is a key predictor of academic and social success from elementary school through college (McClelland et al., 2012). This study analyzed the influence of the age of the child’s parent on the child’s self-regulation as measured by the HTKS (Head-Toes-Knees-Shoulders) measure. Relations between children’s self-regulation...

Relations between Preschool Attention Span-Persistence and Age 25 Educational Outcomes

Creator:: McClelland, Megan M., Acock, Alan C., Piccinin, Andrea, Rhea, Sally Ann, and Stallings, Michael C.
Abstract:: This study examined relations between children’s attention span-persistence in preschool and later school achievement and college completion. Children were drawn from the Colorado Adoption Project using adopted and non-adopted children (N = 430). Results of structural equation modeling indicated that children’s age 4 attention span-persistence significantly predicted math and reading...
