摘要：This study investigated preschooers' behavior regulation and social adjustment by age and gender and examined relationships between behavior regulation and social adjustment. Behavior regulation was assessed by the Head-to-Toes Task (Cameron et al,2008;McClelland et al,2007);social adjustment was evaluated by teachers with the Preschool Adjustment Questionnaire (Jewsuwan et al,1993). Subjects were 263 children aged 3-6 years. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics,two-way ANOVA,and partial correlation analysis. Findings showed (1) incremental dffrences in behavior regulation each year between 3- and 4-year-olds and between 4- and 5-year- olds. (2) Girls exhibited higher levels of behavior regulation and social adjustment than boys. (3) Behavior regulation and social adjustment correlated positively with each other.
