Answer:

self-regulation

Step-by-step explanation:

Self-regulation, in psychology, is determined as a process in which an individual is capable of controlling his or her thoughts, behavior, and emotions in the tracking process of "long-term goals" i.e, an individual does things according to the demands of a specific situation. Therefore, it refers more significantly, to an individual's capability of managing disruptive impulses and emotions.
