Self-Regulation and Autonomy
  • Social and Developmental Dimensions of Human Conduct
  • Edited by Bryan W. Sokol, Frederick M. E. Grouzet, Ulrich Müller
  • Published online: 05 November 2013
  • Print publication: 18 November 2013
  • Self-regulation and autonomy have emerged as key predictors of health and well-being in several areas of psychology. This timely volume brings together eminent scholars at the forefront of this research, which is taking place in disciplines including developmental psychology, developmental neuroscience, social psychology and educational psychology. The contributors present ideas and research findings on the development of self-regulation and autonomy, including their biological bases, antecedents and consequences. Editors Bryan W. Sokol, Frederick M. E. Grouzet and Ulrich Müller have shaped the volume's multidisciplinary perspective on self-regulation and autonomy to reflect the legacy of Jean Piaget, the trailblazing developmental psychologist whose work drew on a diverse body of research.

  • Summary

    Despite various attempts to adjust the current “received view” of Piaget's theory (e.g., Bearison & Zimiles, 1986; Carpendale & Lewis, 2004; Chapman, 1988; Gouin-Décarie, 1965; Lapsley, 1996; Xypas, 2001), the general impression that Piaget really had nothing substantive to contribute regarding the development of children's affective lives pervades much of contemporary psychology. Piaget, at least as most of us know him, is the “cold cognitivist,” whose affinities with Kant's rationalism led him to eschew all things affective or emotional. Much like Piaget's contributions to sociology (Carpendale & Lewis, 2004; Piaget, 1965/1995), his work on affectivity and emotions is largely forgotten, despite his various attempts to note the significance of individuals' affective lives in several of his major publications.

    Dispelling this impression, or at least naïve versions of it, will be a central aim of this chapter. In doing so, we plan to revisit Piaget's lectures at the Sorbonne (1953-1954), published in the journal Bulletin de Psychologie (Piaget, 1954) and later translated as Intelligence and Affectivity (Piaget, 1954/1981), as well as his lectures at the Menninger Clinic in the United States (Piaget, 1962a, 1962b).
