Independently interpreted autoregression and cross-lagged coefficients (i.e. local effects) may not match the holistic dynamic patterns (i.e. considering all coefficients…

Intentional Self-Regulation (ISR)--broadly defined, goal-directed behavior--is an important skill in promoting positive and adaptive development across the life span. The Selection-Optimization-Compensation (SOC) model of ISR describes goal directed behavior among children, adolescents, and adults. This study used an inductive and deductive…
