The abstract for J. Beckmann's work in ''International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences'', describes '''self-regulation''' as:

{{Cquote|Self-regulation refers to a regulation of the psychological state of an individual by the individual her- or himself. Self-regulation becomes necessary when internal or external barriers threaten the efficient realization of an intended action. Self-regulation consists of auxiliary processes that are based on metaknowledge ([[Metacognition|metacognitive]] or metamotivational knowledge). These auxiliary processes support basic action processes like attention, motivation, etc., if those are not sufficient for optimum goal attainment. Self-regulation plays an important role in sport. Athletes have to master several challenges in practice and competition, which require employment of these strategies. During a competition, for example, it is important to stay focused on the task in the presence of a large, noisy audience. Individuals develop ‘naive’ forms of self-regulatory techniques to deal with such challenges or threats. Action control is a broader conceptualization of the auxiliary processes. Two forms of action control are distinguished: Self-control attempts to inhibit distracting thoughts, competing action tendencies, etc. Self-regulation attempts to support task-relevant cognitive, motivational, and emotional orientations. Psychological Skill Trainings usually address self-regulation techniques. In contrast to ‘naive’ self-regulation techniques, those are formal, structured applications of scientific psychological knowledge. Although the terms used for the self-regulation techniques in these programs vary within the sport psychological literature, core techniques involve activation regulation, attention control, self-talk and thought control, visualization, and goal-setting.<ref>[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B0080430767013838 Sports Performance, Self-regulation of] by J.
