- Title
A social cognitive view of self-regulated learning about health.

- Abstract
The article focuses on a social cognitive view of self-regulated learning about health. The social cognitive theory involves three classes of influences on self-regulating behavior: personal, behavioral, and environmental. Among the three classes of influences, personal influences include cognitive and affective factors, behavioral influences refer to actions and reactions of an individual, and environmental influences involve both social and physical factors. Self-regulation in the context of social cognitive theory, suggestively, is a concept that may hold particularly strong promise as the basis of educational programs to aid individuals to prevent the onset of health problems. The educational implications of the triadic model of self-regulation for promoting health and related behavioral functioning are discussed here.
