Abstract / Description of output
Self-regulation refers to the process of controlling thoughts, feelings, and actions to manage short-and long-term goals, and is marked by effortful and voluntary control. Individuals can differ in their ability to self-regulate, which may be influenced by personality and situational variables. The purpose of this entry is to discuss the general framework and behavioral styles of self-regulation. In addition, we will discuss self-regulation and the relation to the Big Five. To finish, we will summarize how different factors may contribute to self-regulation failure.
