This article presents a general framework in which different manifestations of psychopathology can be conceptualized as dysfunctions in one or more mechanisms of self-regulation, defined as the ongoing process of managing personal goal pursuit in the face of internal, interpersonal, and environmental forces that would derail it. The framework is based on the assertion that self-regulation is a critical locus for the proximal influence on motivation, cognition, emotion, and behavior of more distal factors such as genetics, temperament, socialization history, and neurophysiology. Psychological theories of self-regulation are ideal platforms from which to integrate the study of self-regulation both within and across traditional disciplines. This article has two related goals: to elucidate how the construct of self-regulation provides a unique conceptual platform for the study of psychopathology and to illustrate that platform by presenting our research on depression as an example.
本文提出了一个通用框架，其中可以将精神病理学的不同表现形式概念化为自我调节机制的一个或多个功能障碍，自我调节机制被定义为在内部、人际和环境力量可能使其偏离的情况下，持续管理个人目标追求的过程。该框架基于这样一种断言，即自我调节是对动机、认知、情绪和行为的更远程因素（如遗传、气质、社会化历史和神经生理学）产生近端影响的关键位置。自我调节的心理理论是整合自我调节的研究在传统学科内部和跨学科进行的理想平台。本文有两个相关目标：阐明自我调节的结构如何为精神病理学的研究提供独特的概念平台，并通过展示我们关于抑郁症的研究来说明该平台。
