How can people master their own thoughts, feelings, and actions?
This question is central to the scientific study of
self-regulation. The behavioral side of self-regulation has been
extensively investigated over the last decades, but the biological
machinery that allows people to self-regulate has mostly remained
vague and unspecified. Handbook of Biobehavioral Approaches to
Self-Regulation corrects this imbalance. Moving beyond traditional
mind-body dualities, the various contributions in the book examine
how self-regulation becomes established in cardiovascular,
hormonal, and central nervous systems. Particular attention is
given to the dynamic interplay between affect and cognition in
self-regulation. The book also addresses the psychobiology of
effort, the impact of depression on self-regulation, the
development of self-regulation, and the question what causes
self-regulation to succeed or fail. These novel perspectives
provide readers with a new, biologically informed understanding of
self-awareness and self-agency. Among the topics being covered are:
Self-regulation in an evolutionary perspective. The muscle metaphor
in self-regulation in the light of current theorizing on muscle
physiology. From distraction to mindfulness: psychological and
neural mechanisms of attention strategies in self-regulation.
Self-regulation in social decision-making: a neurobiological
perspective. Mental effort: brain and autonomic correlates in
health and disease. A basic and applied model of the body-mind
system. Handbook of Biobehavioral Approaches to Self-Regulation
provides a wealth of theoretical insights into self-regulation,
with great potential for future applications for improving
self-regulation in everyday life settings, including education,
work, health, and interpersonal relationships. The book highlights
a host of exciting new ideas and directions and is sure to provoke
a great deal of thought and discussion among researchers,
practitioners, and graduate-level students in psychology,
education, neuroscience, medicine, and behavioral economics.
