Handbook of Personality and Self-Regulation

---

"Rick H. Hoyle has used the study of self-regulation to draw together exciting finding from the usually disparate areas of information processing, temperament personality, development and social psychology. Psychologists from these areas will add breadth and integration to their models of self-regulating, and clinical psychologists will greatly benefit from reading this book."
- Mary K. Rothbart, Distinguished Professor of Psychology Emeritus, University of Oregon.

"Failure to self-regulation is associated with personal societal costs (E.g... obesity, alcohol consumption, excessive lending or borrowing, and high-risk investments). Zeal in self-regulating can also be maladaptive, as it is associated with inhibition of emotional expression and authentic behavior. Twenty-one chapters from front-line experts offer thoughtful analyses of temperamental and personality substrates of self-regulation along with their interplay with social behavior. This book promises to be an indispensable resource for researchers and practitioners, as well as both graduate and advanced undergraduate students."
- Constantine Sedikides, University of Southampton

The term self-regulation refers to processes by which people control their thoughts, feelings , and behaviors. When people succeed at self-regulation, they effectively manage their perceptions of themselves and their social surroundings. They behave in ways that are consistent with their goals and standards of behavior. Conversely, when people struggle or fail at self-regulation, they lose control of their personal and social experience. Their behavior does not contribute to the fulfillment of important goals of correspond tp standards of behavior to which they subscribe. Successful self-regulation is essential to adaptive functioning in all life domains.
