The present contribution examines the importance of considering the culture-sensitive nature of self-regulation by reviewing theory and research on the development of children’s self-regulation in different cultural contexts. This review of theory and research allows to suggest that widely shared values in a cultural group influence parental socialization theories, goals, and practices, which in turn have an impact on how children learn to self-regulate, the forms of self-regulation they develop, and the goals associated with self-regulation. Thus, this article concludes that more specific research is required to relate both the developmental and the cultural aspects of children’s self-regulation.application/pdfAtribución-NoComercial-CompartirIgual 2.5 Colombiahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/co/Self-regulationSocialization theoriesSocialization goals and practicesParentingChild developmentCultural contextshttps://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2017.00923Generación de Nuevo Conocimiento: Artículos publicados en revistas especializadas - Electrónicos
