A strong sense of self-efficacy allows people to select, influence, and even construct the circumstances of their own lives.

c) Self-regulation: Self-regulation refers to our ability to organize and monitor our own behavior. Self-regulation includes self-monitoring and self-control. Self-monitoring refers to the ability to change one's behavior according to the demands of the external environment, and self-control is leaning to delay or defer the gratification of needs.
