“…This research has led to the development of a unique triadic view of human self-regulation, involving personal, behavioral, and environmental dimensions. This perspective has proven to be useful to researchers interested in diverse aspects of self-regulated functioning, such as motivation (e.g., Cervone, 1983, 1986), physical health control (e.g., asthma, obesity, smoking, heart disease, and diabetes) (e.g., Bandura, 1986a;Clark and Zimmerman, 1990;O'Leary, 1985), mental health improvement (e.g., phobias, sleep disorders, stress management) (e.g., Bandura et al, 1982;Rosenthal and Downs, 1985;Rosenthal and Steffek, 1990), acquisition of physical skills (e.g., strength, sports, and tool use) (e.g., Cervone, 1983, 1986), career choice and development (Betz and Hackett, 1986), complex decision-making and organizational functioning (Bandura, 1988a;Bandura and Wood, 1989;Bandura, 1989a, 1989b), and academic success (e.g., studying and test preparation and performance) (e.g., Schunk, 1984;MartinezPons, 1986, 1988).…”
