Biopsychosocial Regulatory Processes in the Development of Childhood Behavioral Problems
In this volume leading behavioral scientists describe advances in our understanding of the multiple biopsychosocial regulatory processes underlying the development of children's behavior disorders. A full spectrum of regulatory influences is addressed, ranging from genes to cultural factors. Individual chapters highlight the importance of developing research paradigms that synthesize biological, behavioral, and social-ecological influences, and of viewing self-regulation as a complex system that reorganizes across development. The regulatory foundations of a diverse range of childhood behavior problems are examined, including anxiety, social withdrawal, depression, conduct problems, inattention and impulsivity, and sleep problems.
- Describes recent advances in our understanding of the origins and development of child behavior problems
- Each author synthesizes at least two different levels of regulatory influences, spanning biological, behavioral and social-ecological factors
- Highlights cutting-edge developments in theory and measurement
