Handbook Personality Self Regulation~DIBYA

"Failure to self-regulate is associated with personal and societal costs (e.g., obesity, alcohol consumption, excessive lending or borrowing, and high-risk investments). Zeal in self-regulating can also be maladaptive, as it is associated with inhibition of emotional expression and authentic behavior. Twenty one chapters from front-line experts offer thoughtful analyses of temperamental and personality substrates of self-regulation along with their interplay with social behavior. This book promises to be an indispensable resource for researchers and practitioners, as well as both graduate and advanced undergraduate students."
