To explore the effects of executive function on the development of children’s emotional competence, a longitudinal study was designed, and 82 children aged 4~5 years old participated in our study. Every child was followed up three times. The results revealed that: 1) there was a significantly positive correlation between executive function and emotional competence at the age of 4 and 4.5 years old; 2) the executive function in 4.5-year-old children could positively predict emotional competence in 5-year-old children.
Key words： children; executive function; emotional competence
