versus their more economically fortunate peers. Throughout this literature review, the<br />
reader should remain aware that each of these components are intended to be part of<br />
an overall model where self-regulation predicts classroom learning behaviors while<br />
taking into account the moderating effects of gender and socioeconomic status (For the<br />
full model, see figure1).<br />
Self-Regulation<br />
The domain of self-regulation includes managing, modulating, inhibiting, and<br />
enhancing attention, behavior, and emotions. These components are fundamental<br />
processes that experience rapid growth in early childhood (Calkins & Howes, 2004) and<br />
significantly contribute to concurrent and subsequent social and academic success (Blair<br />
& Razza, 2007; Gottman, Katz, & Hooven, 1996; Raver & Zigler, 1997; Rimm-Kaufman et<br />
al., 2000). In fact, there is growing evidence that all aspects of children’s self-regulation<br />
are uniquely related to their academic abilities, over and above their intelligence (Blair,<br />
2002; Gottman et al., 1996; Konold & Pianta, 2005; Welsh et al., 2010).<br />
Although much of the previous research on self-regulation has revolved around the<br />
regulation of emotions, the picture is far more complex than that; emotions regulate<br />
attention, thinking and behavior, but are also regulated by attention, thinking and<br />
behavior (Blair & Razza, 2007; Cole, Martin, & Dennis, 2004; Kochanska, Coy, & Murray,<br />
2001; Miller et al., 2004). As a result, any measurement of behavioral regulation or<br />
attention should also take into account emotion and vice versa. There is still rich,<br />
