The dynamic self-regulation model is a further development of the classic behavioral formula known as the SORKC model . Based on Karoly (1993) , the variables S, R and C are divided into external observable variables α, internal psychological variables β and biological variables γ. For the O variable there is only a subdivision into β and γ.

  • α includes sensory stimuli and behavior that can be observed by outsiders.
  • β includes emotional and cognitive processes.
  • γ includes biological factors, i.e. endocrine control mechanisms, infections, as well as drug or medication influences.

The division into S d and S Δ is omitted. There is also no contingency (K). The model was already proposed by Kanfer and expanded several times. It consists of a feedback loop and a feedforward loop.

While Skinner (1953) saw the variable of the organism (O) primarily determined by the learning history and biology, a self-regulation system is seen here above all.

Kanfer and Karoly (1972) assumed three successive steps:

  • Self-observation: Establishing the behavior (α, β and γ) as the actual state, which also includes comparing it with previous behaviors and noting the behavior.
  • Self-assessment: Comparison of the self-observation of the actual state with a target state.
  • Self-Enhancement: Self-punishment or reward based on self-assessment.

Errors in self-regulation could also be due to missing or imprecise standards (Sayette, 2004). A special case of self-regulation is self-control , which means resisting temptation , but also heroic behavior .
