Cover Story: Having a sense of “self” shapes how we understand and navigate the world. The Vygotskian framework points to self-directed speech as key in self-regulation, but what about other self-processes? Here, we found interesting correlations between inner speech, self-talk, self-concept clarity, mindfulness, mind wandering, and self-regulation, largely in support of our hypotheses. Our results opened discussion about how mindfulness and self-concept clarity may be important for self-regulation, and how self-directed speech may be involved in all of the above. We also discussed how mind wandering, as well as self-talk for social assessment and self-criticism, may be hindrances to self-regulation. This study has its limitations but opens future research avenues. View this paper
