That is really weird. I don't have easy access to the ANNUAL REVIEW
but I wonder, did Karoly also refer to the Americal Behavioral Scientist
PCT issue that I actually did edit?
No.
It seems like this must be the source of the confusion.
I doubt it!
Whether or not he referred to ABS in the REVIEW article, the confusion at
least suggests that Karoly was poking through some of the literature of PCT.
"Poking," indeed.
I guess I'll have to try to get a copy of the article. That may take some
time; in the meantime, could you (Greg) give a brief review of Karoly's
REVIEW?
I thought I already did. What a glutton for punishment... suffice it to
say that you aren't going to like it. The main sections are "Paradigm
Variations and Basic Models," "Proximal Volitional Regulators," "Metaskills
and Boundary Conditions," and "Self-Regulatory Failure: Concepts and
Dynamics." Karoly's "bottom line," as opposed to mine: "As a concept akin
to 'getting one's life together,' self-regulation has not achieved a
simple or uniform paradigmatic embodiment, nor should we expect this in
the foreseeable future." (p. 45) Gee, I can't imagine why not.... :-!
As ever,

P.S. Sorry about the stutter.
