Mature Person

Each person strives to mold himself into a mature or effective person. One of the characteristics of a mature or effective person is being able to control every emotion or impulse from within. Self-control is the ability to direct one's own behavior and suppress the various urges that exist. The impulses that appear can be controlled by means of behavioral control, cognitive control, decision control, informational control, and retrospective control. And self-control should follow ethical or moral principles, the principle of awareness, the principle of reflection, the principle of patience, and the principle of distraction towards objects or something else. The objective of this research is to examine the efforts made by individuals to develop the ability to control themselves or control emotions in their lives. To achieve this goal, the researcher conducted a literature study taken from books and journals. The results of the study show three efforts made to develop self-control abilities, namely growing self-awareness, managing one emotion, and trying to become a mature person.

ABSTRACTThis study aims to describe the contribution of Islamic Religious Education teachers in developing self-control in students at SMA Dua Mei Ciputat. This type of research is a type of qualitative or non-statistical research. Qualitative research is an intensive search using scientific procedures to produce narrative conclusions both written and oral based on analysis of certain data. Sources of data in research are the subjects from which data can be obtained. The research subject was the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teacher at SMA Dua Mei. According to Averill in M. Ghufron, self control is called personal control, namely behavior control, cognitive control and decision control. The conclusion of this study is that the teachers of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at SMA Dua Mei Ciputat are sufficient to contribute in developing self-control for students at SMA Dua Mei Ciputat. It can be seen that the PAI teacher has tried to develop every aspect of self-control, namely the cognitive control aspect by providing more information about knowledge about Islam by integrating PAI learning material with the surrounding conditions, then the control aspect. The behavior (behavior control) of Islamic Education teachers provides habituation both to students inside and outside the classroom, such as discipline, accustoming students to praying in congregation, as well as aspects of decision control, where students are given the opportunity to have an opinion during discussions conducted with the guidance of the PAI teacher. PAI teachers also provide guidance and direction to students who violate school regulations. From the various contributions of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers, it is certainly very influential on the development of student self-control, this can be seen from the habituation applied by Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers can provide positive changes to students, such as students having awareness in worshiping and participating in religious activities without coercion from the PAI teacher, students have self-confidence, and make students more interested in deepening the knowledge of Islam.Keywords: Teacher   Contribution,   Islamic   Education   and   Self-Control

Use Of Social Media

Self-control is the ability of self to control the urge to do or not do something that is desirable both in terms of acting and behaving, especially in the use of social media, self-control in the use of social media referred to in this study, namely behavioral control, cognitive control, and decision control. This study aims to describe self-control in the use of social media students of SMA Negeri 5 Padang. This research is a descriptive analysis study, with a sample of 276 students obtained using proportional stratified random sampling technique. The study used a questionnaire instrument compiled using a Likert scale model. The results of this study indicate that students of SMA Negeri 5 Padang in terms of behavior, cognitive and decision are in the high category and this certainly needs to be maintained so that students always control themselves in the use of social media so that students can focus more on learning both at home and at school .

Mindful Learning

Bodily movement has long been employed as a foundation for cultivating mental skills such as attention, self-control or mindfulness, with recent studies documenting the positive impacts of mindful movement training, such as yoga and tai chi. A parallel “mind-body connection” has also been observed in many developmental disorders. We elaborate a spectrum of mindfulness by considering ADHD, in which deficient motor control correlates with impaired (disinhibited) behavioral control contributing to defining features of excessive distractibility and impulsivity. These data provide evidence for an important axis of variation for wellbeing, in which skillful cognitive control covaries with a capacity for skillful movement. We review empirical and theoretical literature on attention, cognitive control, mind wandering, mindfulness and skill learning, endorsing a model of skilled attention in which motor plans, attention, and executive goals are seen as mutually co-defining aspects of skilled behavior that are linked by reciprocal inhibitory and excitatory connections. Thus, any movement training should engage “higher-order” inhibition and selection and develop a repertoire of rehearsed procedures that coordinate goals, attention and motor plans. However, we propose that mindful movement practice may improve the functional quality of rehearsed procedures, cultivating a transferrable skill of attention. We adopt Langer’s spectrum of mindful learning that spans from “mindlessness” to engagement with the details of the present task and contrast this with the mental attitudes cultivated in standard mindfulness meditation. We particularly follow Feldenkrais’ suggestion that mindful learning of skills for organizing the body in movement might transfer to other forms of mental activity. The results of mindful movement training should be observed in multiple complementary measures, and may have tremendous potential benefit for individuals with ADHD and other populations.

Abstract. The study investigates how commuting strain affects daily self-control capacities at work and at home. Irritability (i.e., increased readiness to express negative emotions when facing frustration) and concentration (i.e., a cognitive control capacity that relies on attention) were used as indicators of (impaired) self-control. Based on 5-day diary data from N = 185 train commuters, we found that on days with a strenuous ride from home to work, commuters indicated higher irritability and lower concentration capacity at work. On days with higher strain during the work-to-home ride, commuters reported to be more irritable back home. Moreover, commuters with low emotional stability turned out to be more affected by commuting strain but only if considering self-control impairment at home.

<p class="15bIsiAbstractBInggris">The moral decadence of this age is very worrying for the world of education. Various problems arise from the inability of students to self-control so that they fall into crime. Surely this needs to be found a solution. This study tried to find a method of learning about adab and its application from Abu Bakr al Jazairi. This study uses the method of literature study (library research). The results of the study found that the application of adab to self begins from repenting (Repentance) to God as a sign of awareness of human weakness and humiliation, then always under the supervision of Allah SWT (muraqabah) in every circumstance, always conduct self-evaluation (Mahasabha) and struggle to control yourself (mujaahadah).</p><p class="16aJudulAbstrak"><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p class="16bIsiAbstrak">Dekadensi moral di zaman ini sangat mengkhawatirkan dunia pendidikan.

The human brain has the impressive capacity to adapt how it processes information to high-level goals. While it is known that these cognitive control skills are malleable and can be improved through training, the underlying plasticity mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we develop and evaluate a model of how people learn when to exert cognitive control, which controlled process to use, and how much effort to exert. We derive this model from a general theory according to which the function of cognitive control is to select and configure neural pathways so as to make optimal use of finite time and limited computational resources. The central idea of our Learned Value of Control model is that people use reinforcement learning to predict the value of candidate control signals of different types and intensities based on stimulus features. This model correctly predicts the learning and transfer effects underlying the adaptive control-demanding behavior observed in an experiment on visual attention and four experiments on interference control in Stroop and Flanker paradigms. Moreover, our model explained these findings significantly better than an associative learning model and a Win-Stay Lose-Shift model. Our findings elucidate how learning and experience might shape people’s ability and propensity to adaptively control their minds and behavior. We conclude by predicting under which circumstances these learning mechanisms might lead to self-control failure.

Control Failures

Self-control refers to the ability to deliberately reject tempting options and instead select ones that produce greater long-term benefits. Although some apparent failures of self-control are, on closer inspection, reward maximizing, at least some self-control failures are clearly disadvantageous and non-strategic. The existence of poor self-control presents an important evolutionary puzzle because there is no obvious reason why good self-control should be more costly than poor self-control. After all, a rock is infinitely patient. I propose that self-control failures result from cases in which well-learned (and thus routinized) decision making strategies yield suboptimal choices. These mappings persist in the decision-makers’ repertoire because they result from learning processes that are adaptive in the broader context, either on the timescale of learning or of evolution. Self-control, then, is a form of cognitive control and the subjective feeling of effort likely reflects the true costs of cognitive control. Poor self-control, in this view, is ultimately a result of bounded optimality.
