Consequences: what will happen: personal beliefs about what consequences are most likely to follow particular behaviors, ex: if i turn in my assignment on time, i will not get penalized, expectations formed through prior experiences and observing others. Influences on self-regulation: metacognitive knowledge, motivation, volition (will-power) Strengths of sct: acknowledgement of both cognitive and social influences, easily applicable to authentic social situations, address an important part of human functioning: how we learn and adapt. Limitations of sct: theory assumes that changes in the environment will automatically lead to changes in the person.
