过去十年中发生的事件揭示了我们评估发表稿件的标准方法存在很大的局限性。对 "正面结果 "以及令人惊讶或新颖的发现的偏好导致了大量的出版偏见,使人们对大部分现有文献产生怀疑(Davis-Kean & Ellis, 2019; Scheel et al.)注册报告是应对这些问题的一项重大举措,因为它们将评估重点从研究结果的性质转移到概念化、研究设计和分析计划的优势上(Chambers,2013)。在开展研究之前,作者首先要提交一份由引言、方法和计划分析部分组成的第 1 阶段建议书。第 1 阶段的建议书将送交同行评审,最终的肯定结果是 "原则上接受",这就保证了只要作者按计划进行研究,并能胜任,无论结果如何,期刊都会发表全文。原则上接受后,作者收集数据和/或进行分析,然后提交第二阶段报告供终审。有关注册报告的更多信息和常见问题的解答,请参阅 https://cos.io/rr/.Registered 报告已越来越多地被科学期刊采用,心理学期刊尤其如此。虽然发展类期刊最初采用报告的速度较慢,但近年来这种情况已大为改观(具体参见 Syed 等人,2023;Silverstein 等人,2024;开放科学和元科学)。然而,对于复杂的纵向设计和二手数据(van den Akker et al.,2021),这种格式如何发挥作用仍有许多问题,而这两种情况在发展研究中都很常见(另见 Syed & Donnellan, 2020)。本特刊的目的是介绍使用与产前至成年早期发展问题有关的二手(已有)数据的注册报告。二级数据集是指由主要用户以外的其他人收集的数据。特刊中的八篇文章所使用的数据集覆盖面很广。其中两篇文章依赖于美国国家儿童健康与人类发展研究所(National Institute of Child Health and Human Development)的 "儿童早期保育与青少年发展研究"(Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development),一篇用于调查早期照料者之间的互动与教育程度、收入和就业之间的关系(Duncan et al.,2024),另一篇用于比较父母敏感性与两种不同的依恋评估方法之间的关系(Nivison et al.,2024)。Wright 和 Jackson(2024 年)从另一个角度研究了养育子女的问题,他们利用德国社会经济小组研究,测试了父母和子女的人格特质对各种青少年结果(如健康、教育、家庭和公民参与)的独立预测能力。有几项研究侧重于学校教育背景:Spiegler等人(2024年)利用 "欧洲四国移民子女纵向调查 "研究了同伴伤害与班级种族多样性和教师互动的关系;Kim和Sidney(2024年)利用 "国际数学和科学趋势研究 "研究了学生学业自我概念个体差异的影响来源;Zimmermann等人(2024年)利用 "2011年幼儿纵向研究幼儿园班级 "了解了学前班入学与进入和离开幼儿园期间社会发展指标的关系。最后,有两项研究考察了发展的生理方面:Chaku 和 Barry(2024 年)利用青少年大脑认知发展研究了解荷尔蒙特征与认知发展的关系,Woods 等人(2024 年)利用家庭未来和儿童福祉研究测试睡眠指标是否与认知和行为发展纵向相关。从本期特刊发表的文章中可以清楚地看出,对于那些使用现有数据集或二手数据集的人来说,注册报告是一个可行的选择,而且这些文章只是触及了可用数据集的表面,这些数据集可以很好地利用注册报告。二级数据集的其他一些例子包括但不限于:《监测未来》、《收入动态面板研究》、《国家纵向调查》、《英国队列研究》、《苏格兰的成长》等(有关评论,请参见 Davis-Kean & Ellis, 2019,以及 Davis-Kean 等人,2015,有关如何访问这些数据集和其他数据集的更多详情)。 所有这些数据集以及更多数据集都有可能适用于注册报告,但注册报告格式却未得到充分利用。首先,审稿人有时会纠结于如何审阅那些不包含数据,只包含观点和方法的 "建议 "的论文。特别是对于二手数据,审稿人会因为已经收集了现有数据而无法就新的原始数据收集提出建议。正如 Davis-Kean 等人(2015 年)所指出的,使用二手数据回答什么问题往往受到限制。无法选择在现有数据的基础上增加数据或改变研究方法。审稿人往往会建议对这些论文进行这样的修改,但这是不可能的。因此,对今后的二手数据登记报告提出的一项建议是,应提供非常明确的审稿人信息,说明审稿人的作用,以及审稿人可向作者提出的要求的限制。基本上,研究的方法和数据结构一般都是已知的,审稿人的工作是确定问题是否与研究领域相关,以及所使用的方法和数据集是否适合回答所提出的问题。审稿人和作者之间的互动存在一个挑战,这在预注册和注册报告中都很明显,那就是经常需要进行稳健性检查,这些检查以前可能没有注册过,但对验证研究结果很重要。这些通常被视为探索性分析,但当评审人注意到数据集中有一个既可信又可检验的替代假说时,往往会合理地要求对研究结果的有效性进行检查。原始数据的收集可能会限制进行稳健性检验的变量的广度,而二手数据则不同,它通常拥有可用于检验的可用构造。我们建议作者和审稿人在第 1 阶段建议阶段就考虑增加可利用现有数据进行检验的替代规格或假设。不过,有时这种认识是在事后产生的,因此必须作为探索性分析添加到第二阶段稿件中。我们鼓励作者这样做,也鼓励编辑和审稿人为其提供便利,只要添加的内容得到透明的报告即可,因为我们总是希望确保我们的研究进行了最严格的测试。最后,在本特刊的最初送审稿中,有时提交的实际问题并不是该领域的主要问题,或者无法用提议的数据集进行充分测试。对二手数据的任何分析都可以进行,但重要的是我们都要考虑是否应该这样做。注册报告的主要目标之一是确保一项研究无论结果如何,都能为其研究问题提供信息。这一设计特点要求高质量的研究,尤其适合最复杂、最具争议性和最具变革性的研究,因为它对经常困扰发展研究的可疑研究实践和出版偏见提供了最明确的约束(Davis-Kean & Ellis, 2019)。将这一格式提升到注册报告作者身份的格式,表明为获得研究结果而进行的极端谨慎和精心策划,这将有助于增强人们对婴幼儿发展研究的信心。

Different components of emotional responding may be affected by using specific emotion regulation strategies that enable children's volitional self‐regulation. This study examined the affective, cognitive, and physiological effects of experimentally instructing children to deploy distraction or reappraisal to regulate negative emotion during an evocative film clip. One‐hundred eighty‐four 4‐ to 11‐year‐old children [M = 7.66 years; SD = 2.33 years; 94 girls; mixed race (36%), Latino/Latina (30%), European American (19%), African American (11%), Asian American (2%), or other (2%)] participated. Neither strategy affected observed distress or self‐reported negative emotion. Relative to a control condition, children instructed to use reappraisal reported attenuated rumination. Distraction also predicted attenuated rumination, as well as a pattern of parasympathetic reactivity indicative of disengagement that correlated with parents' reported use of minimizing and punitive emotion socialization practices. Findings underscore the utility of multi‐method approaches that examine parasympathetic activity in conjunction with volitional measures of self‐regulation.

Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia Reactivity (RSA‐R) correlates both positively and negatively with externalizing behaviour in autistic individuals. These inconsistencies may result from task‐based differences. This pilot study measured RSA‐R in 4‐to 6‐year‐olds, across two timepoints, using four validated tasks with matched baseline and challenge periods. Social, cognitive, sensory and emotional tasks were employed to evaluate the use of a domain‐specific approach in measuring RSA‐R in young autistic children. RSA and parent‐reported externalizing behaviour were collected from 16 children (Mage = 5.60 years; 13 male; 12 White/Caucasian; 15 non‐Hispanic/Latine). RSA‐R was measured by the difference score of the challenge task minus its corresponding comparison task. Correlations were computed to evaluate associations between RSA‐R and behaviour. RSA was reliably measured for 3/4 tasks (0.694 ≤ intraclass correlation coefficients [ICCs] ≤ 0.896). Only RSA‐R during a social task correlated with externalizing behaviour. These results support using a battery that measures a range of challenges, differing in social demands, to characterize how arousal contributes to emotion regulation demands among young autistic children.

High-frequency heart rate variability (hf-HRV) theoretically provides a biomarker for self-regulation, although studies with young children offer mixed findings regarding the relevance of emotional demands in this link. We aimed to describe variation in children's hf-HRV during tasks with relatively high and low emotional load and to determine the relation of hf-HRV during these tasks to different behavioural measures of children's self-regulation. Electrocardiograms were recorded in 80 3–5-year-olds (M = 57 months; 54% male, 47% female; 87% White, 8% mixed/other race, 2% African American/Black, 1% were Asian and 1% Hispanic/Latinx) whilst they completed a Go/No-go task with low emotional load and an emotionally challenging Delay Frustration task. Mean hf-HRV was similar across these tasks, although it increased during a between-task rest interval. Accounting for age, gender and caregiver education, hf-HRV during the Go/No-go task correlated with task performance, whereas hf-HRV during the emotional task correlated with caregiver-reported regulation (Psuedo R2 = 03–0.05). Greater hf-HRV withdrawal during the tasks correlated with weaker Go/No performance and increased behavioural frustration (Psuedo R2 = 0.08–0.13). Children's maintenance of hf-HRV during emotional and cognitive challenges may support their effective self-regulation.
