Because individual differences in emotion regulation are associated with risk for childhood behavioral problems, multidisciplinary investigation of the genetic and neural underpinnings of emotion regulation should be a research priority. Here, we summarize research findings from three independent laboratories to demonstrate the ways in which a variety of developmental human neuroscience-based approaches can address critical conceptual issues in the emergence of emotion regulation. To do so, we present three perspectives on how developmental neurobiology constrains and enriches theories of ER. The three perspectives of (1) genetics, (2) brain structure and function, and (3) plasticity of development are illustrated with empirical results derived from both typical and atypical samples of children and adults. These perspectives are complementary and sometimes represent different levels of analysis of the same question.
由于情绪调节方面的个体差异与儿童行为问题的风险相关，对情绪调节的遗传和神经基础进行多学科研究应成为研究重点。在此，我们总结了来自三个独立实验室的研究结果，以展示多种基于发展性人类神经科学的方法能够解决情绪调节出现过程中的关键概念性问题的方式。为此，我们提出了关于发展性神经生物学如何限制和丰富情绪调节理论的三种观点。从儿童和成人的典型及非典型样本中得出的实证结果说明了（1）遗传学、（2）脑结构与功能以及（3）发育可塑性这三种观点。这些观点相互补充，有时代表了对同一问题的不同分析层面。
