A Systematic Scoping Review of Pre-School Self-Regulation Interventions from a Self-Determination Theory Perspective.

ABSTRACT: Self-regulation (SR) is considered foundational in early life, with robust evidence demonstrating a link between early self-regulation and longer-term outcomes. This has been the impetus for a growing body of intervention research into how best to support early SR development, yet approaches and effects are diverse, which complicates an understanding of the critical characteristics for effective early SR intervention. Using Self-Determination Theory (SDT) as a guiding framework, we present a scoping review of early SR-intervention research to identify the characteristics of pre-school interventions that show significant and strong effects on young children's SR. Studies from peer-reviewed journal articles were included if they evaluated a SR intervention with pre-school children, were publ
