What is Self-Exploration?
• Self-exploration refers to the process of
examining personal resources (e.g.,
strengths and weaknesses), to get a
sense of one’s potential for change.
• A lack of awareness of these
resources or low confidence in
them can reduce one’s
perception that change is
possible (e.g., Bandura’s
self-efficacy theory).

What is Self-Regulation?
• Self-regulation refers to self-generated
thoughts, feelings, and actions that are
planned and changed to meet personal
goals.
• This process involves setting a goal or
reference, acting in ways to move
closer to the goal, and
monitoring the success
(or failure) of these actions.

Outcome
• As an individual who senses progress
toward a goal feels satisfaction, this
provides the motivation to continue to
make progress. In fact, people who selfregulate, value their own feelings of selfsatisfaction and self-respect from
successful change more highly
than material rewards.
