What is Self-Regulation?
Many definitions exist in the research of self-regulation making it a difficult construct to study. An analysis by Burman, Green, and Shanker (2015) identified 447 related terms grouped into 6 clusters, and revealed that self-regulation is a function of becoming aware of one's energy and arousal states and the things one can do to get back to being calmly focused and alert.
Self-Regulation Research
Self-reg is a framework grounded in rigorous research, pulling together comprehensive work in neurology, biology, physiology, cognition, emotions, and social research. Research in self-regulation has been growing exponentially in the last 10 years as the framework is applied in all kinds of settings, but the multitude of definitions can be confusing

Stuart Shanker and The MEHRIT Centre are doing wonderful work in disseminating key information about the comprehensive, neuroscience-based framework, how we can help individuals to identify their own hidden stressors, and learn what they can do to get back to (and remain in) a calm and alert state of arousal. I am proud to be part of a progressive research team at the Self-Reg Institute who are working on just that.
