Takes an in-depth look at structural and dynamic aspects of self-regulation with particular emphasis on empirical approaches and methodological challenges. Students will identify areas of overlap with their own interests and develop concrete ideas of how a self-regulatory angle can enrich their research ideas or broaden their professional perspective.

Outcome 1: Describe key theoretical controversies and empirical challenges in contemporary research on self-regulation.

Outcome 2: Propose a new research program to advance the field of self-regulation.

Outcome 3: Develop concrete policies or interventions that translate basic research on self-regulation into real-life settings.
