Psychological self-regulation
Psychological self-regulation – is the ability to control one's behavior, emotions, and thoughts in pursuit of long-term goals. It specifically involves managing disruptive emotions and impulses, thinking before acting, and acting consistently with one's values. As a defining feature of human beings, self-regulation reflects a key evolutionary achievement, setting humans apart from other species by enabling effective self-control and the pursuit of distal goals. Additionally, it is a critical component of emotional intelligence, encompassing the capacity to recover from disappointment and maintain alignment with personal values.
