Almost Everything You Would Want to Know About Self-Regulation

The reviewer notes that this book (see record 2001-01625-000) concerns self-regulatory behavior and is organized into three major sections. The first section is concerned with general theories and models, the second with research issues and with models that are specific to a particular domain, and the third section describes research that is designed to promote the development of positive self-regulatory behavior. The reviewer concludes that this is a wonderful sourcebook reflecting the diversity of an emerging research area--one that will unquestionably become increasingly important in the future. The reader seeking to become acquainted with the area will be greatly rewarded by reading the book. However, the reader expecting to read summaries of research literatures followed by largely agreed on conclusions will be disappointed in the present volume.
