According to Albert Bandura, self-regulation is a continuously active process in which we:
• Monitor our own behavior, the influences on our behavior, and the consequences of our behavior; • Judge our behavior in relation to our own personal standards and broader, more contextual standards; • React to our own behavior (i.e., what we think and how we feel about our behavior)
