Principlev1
Self-monitor behavior through real-time observation and
Self-monitor behavior through real-time observation and recording to trigger evaluative processes that automatically shift behavior toward personal standards.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Measurement of behavior changes the behavior being measured. (measurement changes the behavior measured) and Two-Level Metacognitive Architecture (metacognition involves monitoring and regulating processes). Kanfer's self-regulation research showing observation→evaluation→consequences grounds this. The act of monitoring triggers the meta-level regulatory system.
