(orcid)0000-0002-6112-9639 How do different components of Effortful Control contribute to children’s mathematics achievement? 2015 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted This work sought to investigate the specific contribution of two different components of Effortful Control (EC) -attentional focusing (AF) and inhibitory control- to children’s mathematics achievement. The sample was composed of 142 children aged 9–12 year-old. EC components were measured through the Temperament in Middle Childhood Questionnaire (TMCQ; parent’s report); math achievement was measured via teacher’s report and through the standard Woodcock–Johnson test. Additionally, the contribution of other cognitive and socio-emotional processes was taken into account. Our results showed that only AF significantly contributed to the variance of children’s mathematics achievement; interestingly, mediational models showed that the relationship between effortful attentional self-regulation and mathematics achievement was mediated by academic peer popularity, as well as by intelligence and study skills. Results are discussed in the light of the current theories on the role of children’s self-regulation abilities in the context of school. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/PSI2011-23340 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 2.463 2015 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 29 / 129 = 0.225 2015 Q1 T1 1.25 2015 Psychology (miscellaneous) 2015 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Fuentes, L.
