Funded Activity Summary

The role of the other in self-regulation: Who, when, where, how, and why. We assume that some individuals, because of the role they have (e.g., parents), are significant others. Moreover, we assume that significant others influence our emotions, motivation, and behaviour. These assumptions have not been systematically tested using a self-regulatory framework. Also no coherent model, detailing how and why individuals come to be significant and the mechanisms by which they have an influence, has been proposed. We present a theoretical model to be tested in a sequence of 10 studies. The results will provide understanding of the role of significant others that will have applications in clinical settings and in organisational contexts.
