PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -As we learned earlier, self-regulation requires self-awareness and monitoring of one’s own emotional state and responses to stimuli. Being conscious of your own thoughts, feelings, and behavior is the foundation of self-regulation: Without it, there is no ability to reflect or choose a different path.

Detailed explanation-2: -The self-regulation process: The process of self-regulation consists of three steps-monitoring your behavior, judging your behavior and reacting to your behavior. These steps involve reflecting on your values and how they relate to your behavior.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are four basic self-regulation strategies that all students need to be able to use: goal-setting, self-monitoring, effective use of self-instructions or self-talk, and self-reinforcement.

Detailed explanation-4: -Further expanding on this triadic model, Zimmerman (1998) asserts that from a social cognitive perspective, self-regulatory processes occur through three phases: forethought, performance or volitional control, and self-regulatory processes.
