The Development of Self-Regulation in the First Four Years of Life.
Kochanska, Grazyna; Coy, Katherine C.; Murray, Kathleen T.
Child Development, v72 n4 p1091-1111 Jul-Aug 2001
Examined longitudinally committed and situational compliance in "Do" and "Don't" contexts and internalization of standards among 108 young children through age 4. Found that the "Do" context was more challenging than the "Don't" context. Both forms of compliance were longitudinally stable, but only within a given context. Committed compliance was linked to children's internalization of maternal rules. (Author/KB)
