Self-regulation is an umbrella term that refers to processes by which individuals monitor, control, and manage their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and impulses in order to achieve specific goals or meet certain standards. This research area focuses on understanding how individuals regulate their own behavior, emotions, and cognitive processes, and how these self-regulatory processes impact various aspects of their lives, such as academic achievement, social relationships, and overall well-being. Researchers in this field examine factors that influence self-regulation, such as motivation, self-control, self-efficacy, and goal-setting, and investigate how these factors can be developed and improved through interventions and strategies. Ultimately, the goal of self-regulation research is to enhance individuals' ability to effectively manage and regulate their behavior and emotions in order to achieve personal and academic success.
