Executive functions and emotion regulation develop from early childhood to adolescence and are predictive of important psychosocial outcomes. However, despite the correlation between the two regulatory capacities, whether they are prospectively related in school‐aged children remains unknown, and the direction of effects is uncertain. In this study, a sample drawn from two birth cohorts in Norway was biennially examined between the ages of 6 and 14 (n = 852, 50.1% girls, 93% Norwegian). Parents completed the Emotion Regulation Checklist, and teachers completed the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function. A random intercept cross‐lagged panel model revealed that improved emotion regulation predicted increased executive functioning to the same extent throughout development, whereas enhanced executive functioning was unrelated to future changes in emotion regulation.

先有情感还是先有认知？儿童期执行功能与情绪调节之间的纵向关系

执行功能和情绪调节从幼儿期到青春期不断发展，可预测重要的心理社会结果。然而，尽管这两种调节能力之间存在相关性，但它们在学龄儿童中是否具有前瞻性相关性仍然未知，而且影响的方向也不确定。在这项研究中，从挪威的两个出生队列中抽取的样本每两年进行一次检查，年龄在 6 岁到 14 岁之间（n= 852 人，50.1% 为女孩，93% 为挪威人）。家长填写情绪调节检查表，教师填写执行功能行为评定量表。随机截距交叉滞后面板模型显示，情绪调节的改善预示着在整个发育过程中执行功能的增强，而执行功能的增强与情绪调节的未来变化无关。
