Abstract: The core processes of emotion understanding, emotion control, cognitive understanding, andcognitive control and their association with early indicators of social and academic success wereexamined in a sample of 141 3-year-old children. Confirmatory factor analysis supported thehypothesized four-factor model of emotion and cognition in early childhood. A subsequentstructural model indicated that emotion understanding processes were significantly positivelyassociated with early indicators of academic success, while emotion control processes wereinversely related to socioemotional problems. These results point to the utility of an integratedmodel of emotion and cognition in early development and offer support for the differentiation ofunderstanding and control processes within these developmental arenas as a framework forfuture study.
