This chapter focuses on the concept of self-regulation as a measure of resilience in children and adolescents. Developmental psychology and neuroscience are converging on the role of attention control as a central ability underlying self-regulation. We collected measures of adolescent attention control from parents and youth, and a measure of self-regulation from teachers. The measures of effortful attention correlated highly with teacher ratings of self-regulation. The composite measure of self-regulation (youth, parent, teacher report) was found to moderate the impact of peer deviance on adolescent antisocial behavior, as well as stress on adolescent depression. These findings suggest that self-regulation is a promising index of adolescent resilience. The construct of self-regulation also provides an excellent target for strategies aimed to improve child and adolescent adjustment in problematic environments and stressful circumstances.
本章重点关注自我调节这一概念，将其作为衡量儿童和青少年恢复力的一种方式。发展心理学和神经科学正趋于一致地认为，注意力控制作为自我调节的核心能力发挥着作用。我们收集了来自家长和青少年的青少年注意力控制测量数据，以及来自教师的自我调节测量数据。努力注意力的测量结果与教师对自我调节的评分高度相关。自我调节的综合测量（青少年、家长、教师报告）被发现能够缓和同伴偏差对青少年反社会行为的影响，以及压力对青少年抑郁的影响。这些发现表明，自我调节是青少年恢复力的一个有前景的指标。自我调节这一概念也为旨在改善处于问题环境和压力环境中的儿童和青少年适应能力的策略提供了一个绝佳目标。
