This study assessed latent growth in behavioral inhibition, anger regulation, and goal‐setting from ages 12 to 18, as well as links between latent growth and depression, externalizing behavior, and prosocial behavior at age 19. A second goal included examining whether latent growth in these constructs and associations with distal outcomes varied by sex. Generally speaking, self‐regulatory subdimensions displayed distinct patterns of developmental growth from ages 12 to 18. Growth in self‐regulatory subdimensions did not vary by sex, though initial levels of anger regulation and goal‐setting did vary by sex. In addition, self‐regulatory subdimensions from ages 12 to 18 were differentially related to adjustment outcomes at age 19. However, sex did not moderate associations between growth in self‐regulatory subdimensions and distal outcomes.

与19-19岁青少年的调整结果相关的自我调节子领域的潜在增长。

这项研究评估了12至18岁之间行为抑制，愤怒调节和目标设定中的潜在增长，以及19岁时潜在增长与抑郁，外在行为和亲社会行为之间的联系。第二个目标包括检查是否存在潜在增长在这些结构中，远期结局的关联因性别而异。一般而言，自我调节子维度在12岁至18岁之间显示出不同的发育增长模式。尽管最初的愤怒调节和目标设定水平确实因性别而异，但自我调节子维度的增长并未因性别而异。此外，年龄在12至18岁之间的自我调节亚维度与19岁时的调节结果差异相关。但是，性别并未调节自我调节亚维度的增长与远端结果之间的关联。
