Abstract:: In recent years, self-regulation has emerged as a foundational skill for academic success and well-being.

Differentiation of Positive and Negative Developmental Outcomes Among Immigrant Youth: Examining Specificity

Creator:: Olsen, Svea G.
Abstract:: Researchers and practitioners often assume that positive and negative outcomes are inversely correlated. Youth development can be more complex than a simple linear association, however. This complexity is poorly understood, with more research needed to inform how such associations manifest among specific populations and how sociodemographic factors may drive variation...

Despite these adversities, academic...

Yet many children are entering kindergarten without the necessary skills (including EF) that are needed to set them on a successful learning trajectory. Early prekindergarten classrooms that encourage a high...
