The Relations of Effortful Control and Ego Control to Children's Resiliency and Social Functioning.

Examined relations of effortful control and ego control to children's resiliency, social status, and social competence concurrently (Time 3) and over time. Found that at Time 3, resiliency mediated the unique relations of effortful and reactive control to social status, and effortful control directly predicted socially appropriate behavior. Negative emotionality moderated relations of ego and effortful control to socially appropriate behavior. (Author/KB)
