Regulation-Related Skills Measure
Welcome to the Regulation-Related Skills Measure (RRSM)!
The RRSM is a tool that can be used by researchers to measure young children's Regulation-Related Skills (RRS) by observing their everyday behaviors in classroom settings (e.g., raising hands, waiting turns, listening to one another).
More specifically, it is an ecologically valid, objective, observation-based measure of prekindergarten and kindergarten children's RRS, including their ability to employ executive function and self-regulation skills, which has been validated for research purposes.
For more information about what this means and how the RRSM can be used, please visit the Overview and Resources sections of this website.
Self Regulation | Executive Function |
|---|---|
The ability to control, change, inhibit, or initiate attention,emotions,or behaviors in the service of meeting a particular goal. | The higher-order cognitive processes that support self-regulation, including inhibitory control attention shifting, and working memory. |
Regulation Related Skills (RRS) |
|---|
The set of skills and behaviors that help individuals control their attention, emotions, and behaviors. Together, these skills allow students to attend to important infonnation, avoid impulsive reactions, and navigate social challenges every day. |
