- W2780694115 abstract "Self-control and self-regulation refers to people's ability to initiate and guide their actions towards the achievement of a desired future goal (Karolyi, 1999). Self-regulation may involve organizing actions over long periods of time whereas Self-control can be conceptualized as the exercise of internal control over one's own actions. This may take the form of mental regulation, emotional management, goal setting, self-monitoring and making responsible choices. Choice and experiencing a sense of control over one's feelings is important. Csikszentmihalyi comments that People who leam to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives, which is as close as any of us can come to being happy (Csikszentmihalyi, 1991, p. 2). He suggests that To overcome the anxieties and depressions of contemporary life, individuals must become independent of the social so they no longer respond automatically to its rewards and punishments (p. 16). We need to choose our own goals and provide our own rewards. He proposes that most important step in emancipating oneself from social controls is the ability to find rewards in the events of each moment (p. 19). This is happens in flow, where we are engaging in an activity because we enjoy it and it absorbs our attention. Within flow, we have a sense of control. Csikszentmihalyi observes that what people enjoy is not the sense of being in control, but the sense of exercising control in difficult situations (p. 61).Well-being has been defined as a good or satisfactory condition of existence, a state characterized by health, happiness and prosperity (Random House, 1999). The focus of subjective well-being remains on understanding the complete range of well-being: from utter despair to elation and total life satisfaction. Good and bad events cause a positive or negative deflection from the baseline; however, it appears that over time, the person drifts back to their baseline (Suh, Diener, Oishi, & Triandis, 1998). This entails that subjective well-being does not measure temporary feelings of euphoria, pleasure, ecstasy or exhilaration, but measures long-term positive feelings of joy or happiness of individuals. The structure of subjective wellbeing has been conceptualized as consisting of two major components: the emotional or affective component, and the judgmental or cognitive component (Diener, 1984; Veenhoven, 1991). Thejudgmental component has also been conceptualized as life satisfaction (Andrews & Withey, 1976). In the cognitive form, subjective well-being is an evaluation of a person'sjudgement about his or her satisfaction with life as a whole.Rotter, who coined the term 'locus of control', describes the concept of personal control in the form of expectancies about reinforcer and outcomes in his Social Learning theory (1954). Locus of control is the generalized outcome-expectancy construct. Individuals with an internal LOC orientation believe their own behaviour determines their reinforcement or outcomes while those with an external LOC orientation believes their reinforcements are controlled by powerful others or random occurrences. Later theorists, who built upon Rotter's ideas (Levenson, 1975; Wallston et al., 1976) conceptualised that individuals with an external locus of control can be further divided into two subgroups: (1) those who believe that their life's outcomes are a result of fate, luck or chance; and (2) those who believe that these outcomes are beyond their control due to the decisions and actions of others who are more powerful than them. Locus of control is formed through an individual's interaction with his or her environment (Ahlin & Lobo Antones, 2015; Rotter, 1971) and an internal locus of control is established when a person's behaviours or efforts lead to desirable and consistent results or rewards overtime.McNulty, Livneh, and Wilson (2004) suggested that a person's behaviour in general, and psychological well-being (an important factor in positive psychology) in specific, is shaped an interplay of factors such as gladness, satisfaction of the past, optimism for the future and happiness in the present (Abdollahi, AbuTalib, Yaacob, & Ismail, 2014; Abbas Abdollahi, Hosseini, Motalebi, &Talib, 2013). …" @default.
