Title Development of self-regulation: At the intersection of emotion and cognition
Description Content: In this seminar, we will explore the development of child self-regulation. The construct of self-regulation represents perhaps the most relevant construct in developmental psychology for our holistic understanding of child development across different contexts. A child's self-regulation encompasses both emotional and cognitive regulatory processes and enables autonomous, adaptive, and goal-directed behavior in new or challenging situations. The dynamic interplay between emotions and cognitions is complex and multifaceted. A better knowledge can help provide better and earlier support for children who exhibit difficulties in these domains.
This course provides an excellent opportunity to become familiar with relevant research questions and current research methods. First, we will discuss definitions and theories of self-regulation and disentangle self-regulation from other related constructs, such as self-control and temperament. In addition, biological aspects and neural substrates of self-regulatory behavior will be of great interest. Finally, we will examine research methods and take a closer look at how self-regulation can be assessed from infancy throughout early adolescence.
Requirements: This seminar requires a high level of continuous and active participation. In each session (6 x 4 lessons), an interactive exchange about the English literature on the basis of guiding questions is expected. In addition, students will take over part of each seminar session as experts in small groups. For the grading of the 5 ECTS, the small group work, a presentation of an empirical study as well as a written assignment will be considered. No more than 1 missed appointment (4 lessons)!
Literature: Selected Articles (on Ilias).
