We also thank the administrators of the University of Michigan Children's Center for their generous assistance, Grazyna Kochanska for allowing us to use her behavioral battery of
effortful control tasks, Kathy Murray for helping us with numerous details concerning the behavioral battery, and Mary Rothbart, Jack Bates, Patricia Kerig, and Thomas Power for allowing us to use their parent self - report measures.
As such, perseverance is related to concepts such as self - regulation, self -
control,
task attentiveness,
effortful control, emotional regulation and executive functioning.
