Extraversion and Neuroticism: The Typical Profiles of Self-Regulation

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1027//1016-9040.8.4.279

The project aims at an analysis of interactions of personality variables and individual peculiarities of self-regulation of one's voluntary activity. A questionnaire to diagnose individual peculiarities of self-regulation has been developed. It includes the following scales: planning of achievements, modeling of significant achievement conditions, programming of activities and assessment of results, independence and reliability, general level of self-regulation. The results of the study showed a unique finding—the existence of several profiles of self-regulation for extraverts and introverts. Thus, the typical Eysenck classification of personality types has been extended to the emerging domain of self-regulation of voluntary activity.
