Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to predict behavioral self-regulation by language development and secure attachment based on mediation role of private speech in cochlear implanted children. In this correlation study 114 available cochlear implanted children in the age range of 3-7 years that at least one year has passed from the Cochlear Implant program were selected with available sampling method. Test of language development (Newcomer and Hammill, 1997), Disturbances of Attachment Interview (Smyke & Zeanah, 1999) and Structured Observation of Behavioral Regulation (Ponitz and et al, 2008) were administered on children, and their mothers responded to Private speech scale (hassanzadeh and Amraei, 2016). Path analysis was employed in order to analyze the data. The results of the study showed that language development (b= 0/37, P<0/01) and secure attachment (b= -0/41, P<0/01) predicting %49 of variance of private speech. Also, language development (b= 0/25, P<0/01) and secure attachment (b= -0/43, P<0/01) with the mediating role of private speech (b= 0/19, P<0/01) have the ability to predict %58 of behavioral self-regulation discrepancy and variances, The research showed Behavioral self-regulation can be predicted by Language development and Secure Attachment, with the mediating role of private speech, in Cochlear Implanted Children. This result can apply in prediction and rehabilitation programs for reducing behavior problems.
