Handbook of Personality and Self-Regulation cover

The Handbook of Personality and Self-Regulation integrates scholarly research on self-regulation in the personality, developmental, and social psychology traditions for a broad audience of social and behavioral scientists interested in the processes by which people control, or fail to control, their own behavior.

  • Examines self-regulation as it influences and is influenced by basic personality processes in normal adults
  • Offers 21 original contributions from an internationally respected group of scholars in the fields of personality and self-regulation
  • Explores the causes and consequences of inadequate self-regulation and the means by which self-regulation might be improved
  • Integrates empirical findings on basic personality traits with findings inspired by emerging models of self-regulation
  • Provides a comprehensive, up-to-date, and stimulating view of the field for students and researchers in a wide range of disciplines

"This handbook serves as a significant tool for those seeking to understand the complexities of self-regulation. Hoyle (Duke Univ.) has brought together an impressive contingent of authors and developed a work that balances theoretical foundations and practical applications. The contributors do a masterful job of integrating what have often seemed disparate findings in the self-regulation literature...Those working with individuals who have self-regulatory issues are likely to find this volume particularly useful. Summing Up: Highly recommended." (Choice, 1 May 2011)
