It is the ability to monitor one's own emotions, cognitions, and behavior. It involves the ability to be aware of one's understanding and the ability to adjust one's internal and/or external contexts in order to foster further learning and performance. In essence, self-regulation is one's ability to adapt. Self-regulation develops over the course of one's development and is sensitive to both internal and external contextual factors.

The capability to guide one’s behavior along a specific path to a directed aim or goal. It includes goal setting, self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and other metaskills. It is strictly intertwined with motivation, self-efficacy (the belief that one is able to achieve the aim) and the ability to cope with failure. Research in self-regulation flourished in the 1980’s, while in the 1990’s important contributions started to appear in several related sectors, such as educational, organisational, clinical, and health psychology. The importance of self-regulation and self-regulated learning is widely recognized in that these capabilities are regarded as the main reason why our ancestors survived while other species extinguished due to the changing environmental conditions. Today, the need for self-regulation is even more important due to the fast technological evolution of our society, which makes life-long learning and the ability to adapt very desirable qualities of the individual.
