Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the development of self-control abilities in children of primary school age. The main mechanisms for the formation of self-regulation of children of primary school age are revealed. Such concepts as self-regulation, self-control, processes of mental self-regulation, structural components of self-regulation, behavioral control, ethno-cultural characteristics and styles of family relations are analyzed. The main context of the study is the study of the development of behavioral control within the framework of child-parent relations among the families of the Northern nationalities. The article presents data on behavioral control in children from families with different ethnic and cultural affiliation. The children of primary school age from 129 families took part in the survey: 42 families of Evens living in the native territory of Yakutia, 43 families of the country’s rural area, 44 Russian-speaking families of the city of Yakutsk. The following methods were used: Wechler’s test Children’s version. Subtest 11 “Coding” and the technique “Voluntary control (control actions): neuropsychological tasks” A.R. Luria. It was found that children from urban families, in comparison with rural families and traditional life-style families, are more likely have a low level of cognitive control and control of actions, but a high level of control of actions is observed less often.
