Springer Handbook of Biobehavioral Approaches to Self-Regulation

How can individuals master their own thoughts, feelings, and actions? This central question drives the scientific study of self-regulation. While the behavioral aspects of this field have been studied for decades, the biological mechanisms behind these processes have often remained unspecified. The Handbook of Biobehavioral Approaches to Self-Regulation by Springer addresses this gap in scientific knowledge. This text moves beyond traditional mind-body dualities to provide a comprehensive look at how self-regulation is established. By examining the biological machinery involved, the book provides a clearer understanding of the physiological processes that govern human behavior. It explores how these regulation mechanisms function within the cardiovascular, hormonal, and central nervous systems. Designed for those interested in the intersection of biology and behavior, this handbook offers a detailed examination of the biological foundations of self-control. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the physical systems that allow people to manage their internal states and external actions.
