Abstract
A psychobiological model of self-regulation development in early childhood is described and empirical support for the model is presented. The model outlines hierarchical relations among influences on self-regulation development ranging from the genetic to social-cultural levels. The role of experience in the shaping or canalization of relations among levels of influence is examined and analyses of data from the Family Life Project, a longitudinal population-based sample of children and families followed from birth is shown to provide support for the model.
