General Learned Resourcefulness
General Learned Resourcefulness (otherwise known as Learned Resourcefulness) refers to a set of deliberate, and voluntary cognitive and behavioral skills that are used to solve every day challenges and disruptions These deliberate skills include problem solving (e.g., pre-planning and anticipating consequences), positive self-instructions, and delaying immediate gratification. These skills are utilized either in response to a life disruption (i.e., redressive self-control) or in response to a need to disrupt one's own problematic behaviors (reformative self-control)

Michael Rosenbaum developed this psychological construct, and conceptualized it as a well learned repertoire of behaviors and thoughts acquired in the context of one's environment and particularly, from the home and the family
