Email this article Type of Self-Regulation Depending on Sex and Temperament in Early Adulthood
Abstract
There are two systems of autoregulation: promotional and preventive. They influence making decisions and realization of goals. As in the case of strategy, we distinguish Behavioral Inhibition System and Behavioral Activation System that adjust the actions. The aim was to answer the question whether temperament and sex differentiate strategies and self-regulation systems. 105 people was tested (51 men and 54 women). The following methods were used for the study: The Promotional and Preventive Self-regulation Scale SSPP, Temperament Questionnaire PTS and BIS-BAS Scale.
The results show that women are significantly more likely to experience Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS) than men; there are no differences between the promotional and preventive strategy. As regards the temperament, people with low agitation have a stronger inhibition system and lower promotional strategy than people with high agitation. People with low inhibition exhibit a stronger Behavioral Activation System (BAS) than people with high inhibition. Furthermore, in the group of women, temperament does not explain BAS and prevention variability, but in the group of men such a relationship is significant. On the other hand, regression analysis results for the variation of BIS and promotion strategies observed in both groups are similar – the effect of agitation is noticeable. There are clear dependencies between temperament and regulation systems.
