There are Three Dimentions of Self-Regulation

"Researchers identified three critical dimensions, or characteristics, of self-regulation" (Hurst, 2016).  These dimentions make up the self-regulation cycle. 

​

Self-reaction

​​

  • Self-reaction refers to one's behavioral, cognitive and affective responses to self-judgments.

​

  • Positive reaction if one is progressinging towards their goals

​

  • Negative response may motivate you to focus more on reaching goals

Self-judgment

​​

  • Self-judgment refers to evaluating one's current performance levels compared to the goal level.

  • How did you prepare yourself?

​

  • What do I need to do to reach my goals?

​

Self-observation

​​

  • Self-observation occurs when you take the time to monitor your activities. 

​

  • Self-observation may take the form of recording frequency, duration or quality of a behaviour.

​

  • Self-observation could lead to higher motivation.
