PSYC 305 Exam 1 || with 100% Correct Answers.
Self-regulation correct answers the ability to control ourselves, to exert control over our own acts
and inner processes.

Self-direct correct answers allows us to modify our behavior to gain desirable outcomes. (EX:
we can change the topic to avoid boring a friend/we stop drinking to avoid getting drunk)

Skilled self-control correct answers the execution of an effective coping strategy to deal with
temptation through prior planning and management of the situation

Self-control fatigue correct answers if you have to withstand temptation for a long period, your
self-control will eventually weaken and you will give in.

you might even get so tired that you do less of what you intend (EX: exercise)

Brute self-control correct answers is how we often think of 'will power'

we will gain success from deliberate, effortful exercise of willpower

it weakens with use

Willpower correct answers how people deal with problems in self-regulation (EX: when facing
temptation)

it is part of a psychological process that allows a person to perform difficult task, overcome
temptations, or persist with goals

Strength model of self-control correct answers thinking of self-control as if it were a muscle,
which can tire if overused

Self-regulation is a learned skill correct answers IT IS NOT having lots of willpower

it is a skill that involves anticipation & cleverness so that immediate & tempting rewards do not
impede progress toward a long range goal

Three ways we explain behavior correct answers 1.) the environment causes behavior
2.) personal characteristics cause behavior
3.) the person and environment interact to cause behavior

The person x environment correct answers Jane eats a lot of sweets. Whenever she sees them,
she wants to eat them.

Her family often eats dessert with their dinner whenever they go out, and there is always a
supply of candy in the cupboard at home. Jane has tried many times not to eat sweets, but
whenever she goes out with her family she caves in.

, The person x environment (another scenario) correct answers Josie surfs the web all the time,
even when she knows she should be doing other things.
She lives alone and often feels bored and lonely unless she is on the internet. Her computer is
always on in her room. She always gets interested in exploring the links on the webpages, even if
they're off-topic. (she can change her environment- get out of the house)

The person x environment (third scenario) correct answers Thomas is a smoker. He has tried to
quit cold turkey many times, but that usually only lasts for less than a week.
His co-workers always smoke on their breaks and there is a store to buy cigarettes just around
the corner from his house.

A skill correct answers the ability to do something well, developed through KNOWLEDGE and
PRACTICE

If self-regulation is a skill.. correct answers we need to think about the behaviors we need to
perform and the situations we will perform it in.

How can you redefine aspects of a person (their tendencies) from an issue of willpower to an
issue of circumstances? correct answers messy person --> as someone who does not reinforce
themselves when they put things back in their place

morning person --> as someone who goes to bed on time, uses an alarm, exercises or has another
early morning activity they do

ABC's of self-change correct answers A- antecedent: cue or stimulus/events or triggers

B- behavior: actions, behaviors or thoughts

C- consequence: what happens after the behavior that affects whether it is repeated/reinforcers

Self-modification correct answers a planned, continuing effort to change behavior and cope with
tasks not yet mastered.

Target behavior correct answers the behavior(s) you want to change

The process of self-modification correct answers 1.) select a goal and develop a commitment to
change
2.) make observations about your target behavior
3.) make a plan for change
4.) implement the plan
5.) monitor: determine what interferes with progress & success as well as what facilitates it
6.) readjust plans as you go
7.) plan for how to maintain the gains you make
