A systematic review of the concept of self-regulation in infants between 0 and 36 months in Latin America

The data set is the product of an article search based on the PRISMA protocol for a systematic review of scientific articles on self-regulation in children aged 0 to 36 months in Latin America. The search for articles focusing on studies embracing SR development from 2000 to 2023. This criterion is based on the significant increment in the volume of psychology and developmental cognitive neuroscience publications over the past twenty years, connected to advancements in techniques and methodologies within both fields and new theoretical viewpoints aimed at comprehensively studying cognition and emotion. Search parameters were set considering keywords related to SR processes. The present review was designed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines (Moher et al., 2009; Shamseer et al., 2015). In order to guarantee publicity, transparency, and replicability, the systematic review, methods, and search materials were registered on the Open Science Framework (OSF) platform. Search strategy, data sources, and extraction: The search strategy was based on advanced search engines, search parameters, and the keywords self-regulation, child development, and infant development. The selected search terms were those we considered most appropriate to the review's objectives: broad concepts were chosen that allowed us to cover a large sample, which would then have to be carefully screened. It is worth clarifying that other keywords could have been used, for example using only "child" or "infant" without "development." However, in the testing before selecting keywords for the search, we observed that these search terms gave very unfocused results, without any link to the concept of SR of the developmental sciences. For example, SR of advertising aimed at children, SR in infant feeding, SR of disciplinary rules in school contexts, or SR of markets associated with children. Including the term "development" allowed us to balance the breadth of the search with focusing on the specific concept of SR linked to the developmental sciences. Although several terms are associated with SR (i.e., executive functions, temperament, reactivity), the lack of recursivity between the different theoretical frameworks from which these terms come is an obstacle to identifying relevant literature. The selection criteria (inclusion/exclusion) were adjusted to the proposed objectives: studies with Latin American samples from 0 to 36 months. Review papers, perspectives, and empirical studies published in Spanish, Portuguese, and English were included. Considering that the search was carried out in three different languages, the keywords were appropriately translated and adapted to the resources of each search engine (e.g., filters and boolean operators). The following databases were consulted searching for articles published in journals from the humanities, education, health, and social sciences: Education full text; Psychology and Behavioral Collection; PubMed; Scielo and Redalyc, using the following search interfaces: EBSCO, PubMed, Scielo, and Google Scholar. The choice of the databases and interfaces was based on the following criteria. PubMed is one of the most recognized databases globally in health studies that include infant development, where this search was framed. EBSCO provides globally recognized databases in education and psychology that complement PubMed, which is more focused on the health area. Scielo and Redalyc are databases specialized in publications from the Latin American and Caribbean context, with which we intend to cover journals that may not be indexed in non-specialized databases in the region. The search strategy for each interface and database is outlined below according to the resources of each one: (1) EBSCO (Education full text+Psychology and Behavioral Science Collection): "Self-regulation" AND ("child development" OR "infant development" OR "toddler development"). Filters: published between the year 2000-2023; (2) PubMed: "Self-regulation" AND "development". (Filters: published between 2000-2023/ age: Newborn: birth-1 month, Infant: birth-23 months, Infant: 1-23 months, Preschool Child: 2-5 years/ language English, Spanish, Portuguese); (3) Scielo: "Self-regulation" AND ("child development" OR "infant development"); "Autorregulación" AND "desarrollo infantil"; "Auto-regulação" AND "desenvolvimento infantil" (Filters: published between the year 2000-2023) ; (4) Redalyc (through indexing in Google scholar): "Self-regulation" AND ("child development" OR "infant development"); "Autorregulación" AND "desarrollo infantil"; "Auto-regulação" AND "desenvolvimento infantil" (Filters: published between the year 2000-2023).

本数据集系基于 PRISMA 协议对拉丁美洲 0 至 36 个月儿童自我调节能力的系统性文献综述所获。该文献搜索聚焦于涵盖 2000 至 2023 年 SR 发展研究的文献。此标准基于过去二十年间心理学与发育认知神经科学出版物数量的显著增长，这一增长与两学科技术与方法论的进步以及旨在全面研究认知与情感的全新理论视角密切相关。搜索参数的设定考虑了与 SR 过程相关的关键词。本次综述的设计遵循了《系统评价与Meta分析报告标准》（PRISMA）指南（Moher 等，2009；Shamseer 等，2015）。为确保公开性、透明度和可重复性，系统性综述、研究方法及搜索材料已在开放科学框架（OSF）平台上进行登记。搜索策略、数据来源及提取：搜索策略基于高级搜索引擎、搜索参数和自我调节、儿童发展与婴儿发展等关键词。所选搜索术语被视为最符合综述目标的：选择了具有广泛概念性的术语，以便覆盖大量样本，随后需进行细致筛选。值得注意的是，其他关键词也可能被使用，例如仅使用“儿童”或“婴儿”而非“发展”。然而，在为搜索选择关键词的测试中，我们发现这些搜索术语产生了非常分散的结果，与发育科学中的 SR 概念没有任何关联。例如，针对儿童的广告中的 SR、婴儿喂养中的 SR、学校情境中的纪律规则 SR 或与儿童相关的市场 SR。包含“发展”一词使得我们在扩大搜索范围的同时，能够聚焦于与发育科学相关的特定 SR 概念。尽管与 SR 相关的术语（例如，执行功能、气质、反应性）较多，但这些术语来自的不同理论框架之间的递归性缺乏是识别相关文献的障碍。选择标准（纳入/排除）根据既定目标进行调整：纳入 0 至 36 个月拉丁美洲样本的研究，包括西班牙语、葡萄牙语和英语发表的综述论文、观点和实证研究。鉴于搜索涉及三种不同的语言，关键词已根据每个搜索引擎的资源适当翻译和调整（例如，过滤器与布尔运算符）。咨询了以下数据库以搜索发表在人文、教育、健康和社会科学期刊上的文章：教育全文数据库、心理学与行为科学收集数据库、PubMed、SciELO 和 Redalyc，使用以下搜索界面：EBSCO、PubMed、SciELO 和 Google Scholar。选择数据库和界面的标准如下：（1）EBSCO（教育全文+心理学与行为科学收集）：“自我调节”与“儿童发展”或“婴儿发展”或“幼儿发展”的逻辑“与”运算。过滤器：2000-2023 年间发表；（2）PubMed：“自我调节”与“发展”。（过滤器：2000-2023 年间发表/年龄：新生儿：出生-1 个月，婴儿：出生-23 个月，婴儿：1-23 个月，学龄前儿童：2-5 岁/语言：英语、西班牙语、葡萄牙语）；（3）SciELO：“自我调节”与“儿童发展”或“婴儿发展”；“Autorregulación”与“desarrollo infantil”；“Auto-regulação”与“desenvolvimento infantil”（过滤器：2000-2023 年间发表）；（4）Redalyc（通过 Google Scholar 的索引）：“自我调节”与“儿童发展”或“婴儿发展”；“Autorregulación”与“desarrollo infantil”；“Auto-regulação”与“desenvolvimento infantil”（过滤器：2000-2023 年间发表）。
