From top authorities, this significantly revised and expanded handbook is a highly regarded reference in a swiftly growing field. Handbook of Self-Regulation: Research, Theory, and Applications, 3rd edition (PDF), thoroughly explores the conscious and unconscious processes by which people manage their behavior and emotions, control impulses, and strive toward desired goals. Chapters examine such vital issues as why certain individuals have better self-control than others; how self-regulation shapes, and is shaped by, social relationships; underlying brain mechanisms and developmental pathways; and which interventions can enhance people’s self-control. The volume also talks about self-regulatory failures and their consequences, with chapters on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, addictions, criminality and money management challenges. As a special bonus, purchasers of the third edition can download a supplemental e-book featuring two notable, highly cited chapters from the second edition.

Reviews
“If there’s one thing all psychologists agree on, it’s that self-regulation matters for success. How we can foster it, though, remains an open question. In this volume, foremost scholars Vohs and Baumeister bring together diverse, state-of-the-art views in what can only be described as an integrative masterpiece. I’m sure the third edition of this handbook is destined to be a classic.” — David DeSteno, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, Northeastern University
“An all-star roster of the top researchers show their most interesting ideas on self-control: what it is, how it works, how it develops, why some are better at it than others, and why we all experience failures from time to time. This is simply vital reading for any scholar, student or researcher wanting to understand both the basics and the cutting edge of self-regulation research. This is not an ebook you will possibly read in one sitting. This is an ebook so packed with information that you will be coming back to it again and again for years to come.” — Nicholas Epley, PhD, Booth School of Business, University of Chicago
“Self-regulation is evolving as a unifying theme that bridges the biological, behavioral, and social sciences. This ebook presents a panoramic review of the latest theoretical developments and cutting-edge research in the field. The contributors–leading self-regulation researchers–provide an in-depth exploration of the fundamental mechanisms underlying self-control and their implications for improving people’s pursuit of personal, interpersonal, and group goals. This is a valuable resource for graduate students, practitioners, and researchers, interested in the science of self-regulation.” — Yaacov Trope, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, New York University
“Vohs and Baumeister have assembled world-renowned scholars to offer an extensive examination of research, theory, and practice in self-regulation. Capturing the latest thinking on self-regulation and its relation to human behavior, the 3rd edition of the Handbook takes a fresh look at the basic theory and at the contributions that research on the topic can make in multiple applied fields. I consider this the important reader on self-regulation for both experienced and aspiring researchers in areas as diverse as social psychology, behavioral science, and cognitive neuroscience.” — Martin S. Hagger, Ph.D., John Curtin Distinguished Professor, School of Psychology and Speech Pathology, Curtin University, Australia
