• Provides a comprehensive, up-to-date, and stimulating view of the field for students and researchers in a wide range of disciplines

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Rick H. Hoyle has used the study of self-regulation to draw together exciting findings from the usually disparate areas of information processing, temperament/personality, developmental and social psychology. Psychologists from these areas will add breadth and integration to their models of self-regulation, and clinical psychologists will greatly benefit from reading this book."
--Mary K. Rothbart, Distinguished Professor of Psychology Emerita, University of Oregon
 
"Failure to self-regulate is associated with personal and 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
