Learning Objective 6 Takeaways 学习目标 6 要点

• Self-regulation is the process of controlling our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to achieve a desired goal. 
  自我调节是指控制我们的思想、情感和行为以实现一个期望目标的过程。
  • Self-regulation includes the ability to delay gratification, or forgo short-term rewards for long-term goals.
    自我调节包括延迟满足的能力，或者为了长期目标而放弃短期奖励。
  • There is evidence that self-regulation has positive effects on life outcomes. For example, children who demonstrated self-regulation in the marshmallow studies grew up to exhibit better mental and physical health, social skills, and academic and professional achievement.
    有证据表明自我调节对生活结果有积极影响。例如，在棉花糖实验中表现出自我调节的儿童长大后表现出更好的心理健康、身体健康、社交技能以及学术和职业成就。
• According to regulatory focus theory, people tend to emphasize seeking good outcomes (a promotion focus) or avoiding bad outcomes (a prevention focus).
  根据监管焦点理论，人们倾向于强调寻求良好结果（晋升焦点）或避免不良结果（预防焦点）。
  • Promotion-focused people concentrate on the ideal self—the person we want to be—and respond to failure with low-arousal negative emotions.
    以促销为导向的人专注于理想自我——我们想要成为的人——并以低唤醒度的负面情绪应对失败。
  • Prevention-focused people concentrate on the ought self—the standard for ourselves that we don’t want to fall beneath—and respond to failure with high-arousal negative emotions.
    预防导向的人专注于“应当自我”——我们不希望低于的标准——并以高唤醒的负面情绪应对失败。
