TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Putting self-regulation theory into practice: a user's manual JO - Applied psychology A1 - Kuhl, Julius A1 - Kazén, Miguel A1 - Koole, Sander L. SP - 408 EP - 418 VL - 55 IS - 3 N2 - Cervone, Shadel, Smith, and Fiori (2006) propose that theories of personality architecture may provide an integrative theoretical framework for self-regulation research. Building further on this argument, the present paper considers one comprehensive modern approach to personality architecture, personality systems interactions (PSI) theory. The authors provide a brief overview of PSI theory and discuss a simple, three-step "user's manual" that has guided applications of the theory to real-life behavior. Work on PSI theory highlights some of the integrative potential of personality science in the field of self-regulation. The authors conclude that theories of personality architecture may improve the quality and precision of the counselling, coaching, and training that psychologists in many diverse areas provide.
