Talk:Self-regulation theory

Untitled
I just completed a cleanup of this article, but it's still confusing. More background is needed. The citations need improvment: who are Kanfer, Leventhal and Nerenz, and what have they written? Finally, the only article that links here is illusion of control, which is about a cognitive fallacy and not about personal health management.

I've changed the "cleanup" tag to an "expert" tag because this really needs attention from an expert. Arch O. La  Grigory Deepdelver  16:16, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Pseudo science/medicine, self-published? Candidate for deletion?
Tagged the article. I see little discussion about it. Maybe it is actually a candidate for deletion? --Fremte (talk) 17:47, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I reverted to a version suggested here. It looks much better, but I'm not sure. Vesal (talk) 14:31, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Merge/Delete Needed
SRT in this form is mainly an explanation of situational application for illness or crimes that occur under ego depletion. I would recommend reformatting this to fit under the page Emotional Self-Regulation or simply deleting it. SRT falls under the ESR page and this page seems to lack flow. Also the only relevant article to the field of self-regulation is Baumeister. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.25.112.40 (talk) 18:33, 27 November 2013 (UTC)


 * No, SRT can be seen as a superordinate theoretical construct to emotional self-regulation! The two articles should not be merged! But I agree that the article could use a lot of editing. 131.174.47.76 (talk) 14:04, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Complete revision necessary
This article is in need of some serious editing! The Baumeister concept is repeated multiple times. While this model is surely the most influential in current research, it is also quite severely criticized currently. One aspect that is necessary in my view is streamlining of the article. Adding some other conceptual perspectives (like Carver&scheier's more metatheoretical approach) and conceptual boundaries, like the distinction of self regulation from self control would be nice.. But this field is huge, and this is a large effort, would be great to see some changes, though. I started with adding some lines on the recent critique of the strength model.. Maybe I'll find time to do some more stuff.. Rumplenilschen (talk) 14:29, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
