Poor sleep is thought to interfere with children's learning and academic achievement (AA). However, existing research and theory indicate there are factors that may mitigate the academic risk associated with poor sleep. The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating role of children's effortful control (EC) on the relation between sleep and AA in young children. One hundred and three 4.5- to 7-year-olds (M = 5.98 years, SD = 0.61) wore a wrist-based actigraph for five continuous weekday nights. Teachers and coders reported on children's EC. EC was also assessed with a computer-based task at school. Additionally, we obtained a standardized measure of children's AA. There was a positive main effect of sleep efficiency to AA. Several relations between sleep and AA were moderated by EC and examination of the simple slopes indicated that the negative relation between sleep and AA was only significant at low levels of EC.
睡眠质量差被认为会干扰儿童的学习和学业成绩(AA)。然而,现有研究和理论表明,存在一些因素可能会减轻与睡眠质量差相关的学业风险。本研究的目的是探讨儿童的努力控制(EC)对幼儿睡眠与学业成绩之间关系的调节作用。103名4.5至7岁的儿童(M = 5.98岁,SD = 0.61)在连续五个工作日的晚上佩戴腕式活动记录仪。教师和编码人员报告了儿童的努力控制情况。努力控制也通过学校的一项基于计算机的任务进行评估。此外,我们获得了儿童学业成绩的标准化测量值。睡眠效率对学业成绩有积极的主效应。努力控制调节了睡眠与学业成绩之间的几种关系,对简单斜率的检验表明,睡眠与学业成绩之间的负相关仅在低水平的努力控制时显著。
