Metacognition

1.1K
Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

404
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Self-Regulation

343
Self-regulation, also known as self-control, encompasses a range of cognitive and behavioral processes that allow individuals to adjust their internal states and outward actions to align with socially acceptable norms and long-term goals. It plays a fundamental role in adaptive functioning, from resisting impulsive behaviors to persisting through challenging tasks. While its benefits are widely recognized, self-regulation is not limitless. Muraven and Baumeister's theory posits that...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.9K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Social Foundations of Self III: Self-Evaluation

252
Self-evaluation is the process by which individuals assess their abilities, behaviors, and characteristics based on feedback from others. Charles H. Cooley observed that a person’s self-perception is primarily influenced by how others see and judge them. He suggested that individuals form their identities based on their interpretations of others' reactions. As a result, social interactions play a crucial role in shaping self-esteem and personal identity. These external evaluations often...

Impression Management Techniques III: Aligning Actions

214
Aligning actions are communicative strategies individuals employ to maintain social harmony and preserve personal identity in the face of potential disruptions to social norms. These actions are particularly important in managing social impressions when one's behavior might be seen as inappropriate, incompetent, or morally questionable.Types of Aligning ActionsThe three principal types of aligning actions are disclaimers, accounts, and apologies.DisclaimersDisclaimers are preventive; they are...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Research Methodology

Background:

  • Self-regulated learning (SRL) research quality is often implicitly judged.
  • Alignment between theoretical and methodological decisions is a key, yet under-examined, aspect of SRL study quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a framework for evaluating alignment in self-regulated learning research.
  • To integrate and extend existing work on SRL research quality.
  • To provide guidance on conducting and reporting SRL research.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and conceptual framework development.
  • Analysis of articles within a special issue on self-regulated learning.
  • Discussion of methodological approaches for studying dynamic, contingent, and contextualized SRL features.

Main Results:

  • A proposed framework for assessing alignment in SRL research is presented.
  • The special issue articles serve as case examples for applying the framework.
  • Methodological challenges and opportunities in SRL research are highlighted.

Conclusions:

  • Alignment is a critical, explicit dimension of SRL research quality.
  • The proposed framework aids in evaluating and improving SRL research.
  • Sophisticated methods are needed to capture the complexity of SRL.
