Self-determination theory's (SDT) dual process model claims that parental autonomy support relates positively to child well-being, while psychologically controlling parenting is linked ill-being. We tested these using a combination of one-stage and univariate meta-analytic structural equation modeling with moderation (
Two experiments compared rewards and autonomy support as methods to promote children's self-regulation for an uninteresting vigilance task. Dependent measures were ratings of positive affect, perception the task's value, free-choice engagement. ANOVA results revealed some effects associated with support, whereas no effect was found in either study. The outcomes most interest correlations between behavior self-reported affect reflecting level integration self-regulation. As predicted by...
Objective. Students with severe learning disabilities often show signs of anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors such as inattention conduct problems. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) in school settings constitute a promising option to alleviate these co-occurring symptoms. This pilot study aimed evaluate the impact an MBI on symptoms elementary students disabilities. Method. A one-group pretest-posttest design was used.

A qualitative content analysis revealed 18 practices that this group considered supportive toddlers' autonomy. findings are in line with traditional conceptualization AS, namely, offering choices and encouraging initiatives, acknowledging child's feelings perspective, providing rationales...
Background The benefits of autonomy support with the general population have been demonstrated numerous times. However, little research has conducted to verify if these apply people special needs. Methods goal study was examine whether (AS) can foster sense a mild intellectual disabilities (MIDs) and improve their experience while engaging in an important but unpleasant learning activity. This experiment compares effects two contexts: without AS. All participants ( N = 51) had disability...
Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs) have been increasingly implemented in schools to foster better emotional regulation skills for students with special education needs such as learning disabilities (LDs). This pilot study aimed evaluate the impact of a MBI on need satisfaction elementary severe LDs. A prospective quasi-experimental design involving one group and two time points was employed. sample 14 school from LDs class participated this project. Repeated-measures ANOVAs were...
Abstract This study examined the effect of expected rewards on children's creativity. Sixty-one female gymnasts (ages 4-17) were randomly assigned to a no-reward or reward condition. All participants completed both training task that required divergent thinking (generating themes for gymnastics gala) and transfer (using circles make pictures). The contingency was in only during task. Creativity assessed by (a) consensual judgment 5 raters (b) determining statistical rarity given response...
Basic parenting research reveals that child mental health is associated with optimal parenting, which composed of three key dimensions (structure, affiliation and autonomy support). The present study aims to test the efficacy program "How talk so kids will listen & talk" (French version), thought address all these dimensions, in promoting children's health. We predict How-to Parenting Program promote by fostering parenting. In this randomized controlled trial (RCT), seven-week group was...
