Question

What are the ways to regulate Self? Give examples.

Answer 1

Self regulation refers to being able to control our thoughts, feelings, and actions so as to suit social norms. It involves monitoring our actions and reactions because we can predict or imagine the consequences. People may either focus on achieving positive outcomes or may try to prevent negative outcomes.
