This paper aims to demonstrate the influence of Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory on the development of various models related to the concept of Self-Regulation. It introduces the Self- vs. External Regulatory Theory and integrates recent evidence supporting its explanatory adequacy in different psychological constructs. Additionally, a new theoretical and empirical research agenda is presented to further explore the assumptions and behavioral variability of the studied constructs.
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory (1986) influenced the development of several complementary models of the construct of Self-Regulation. Building on the foundation of Self-Determination Theory, SDT (2000), and Zimmerman's Self-Regulation Theory, SR (2001), with their assumptions, contributions, goddesses, and limitations, we come to the Self- vs. External Regulatory Theory, SR-ER (2021). Finally, we integrate recent evidence demonstrating the explanatory adequacy of the SR vs. ER model for different psychological constructions in different settings related to education, health, clinical practice and social work. Complementary, a new theoretical and empirical research agenda is presented, to continue testing the adequacy of SR vs. ER assumptions, and to better understand the behavioral variability of the different constructs studied.
