) propose that theories of personality architecture may provide an integrative theoretical framework for self‐regulation research. Building further on this argument, the present paper considers one comprehensive modern approach to personality architecture, personality systems interactions (PSI) theory. The authors provide a brief overview of PSI theory and discuss a simple, three‐step “user's manual” that has guided applications of the theory to real‐life behavior.
