Abstract: Self-regulation is an important hallmark of individual development and socialization, which develops rapidly during preschool period. In this study, the development trends and gender differences of cool and hot self-regulation for 219 children aged 3 years was measured by day-night task, head-toes task and delaying task for three times in a year. The results showed that: (1) Two-factor model fitted significantly better than single-factor model. Cool and hot self-regulation were moderately related; (2) Children's cool self-regulation was moderately stable, while the stability of hot self-regulation was medium-low; (3) Inhibitory control and delaying of children increased with age. Delaying ability increased significantly first and then kept still, for girls; (4) For all, gender differences were significant in inhibitory control and delaying of children. But girls' inhibitory control was significantly higher than boys' only in early period, while always higher in delaying. Conclusion: At the age of 3~4, development trends of girls' cool and hot self-regulation are not synchronous. The “gender advantage” for girls persists only in hot self-regulation.

Key words: preschoolers, self-regulation, inhibitory control, delaying, gender differences
