ABSTRACT
Based on metacognition
theories we present a construct of metacognitive self (MCS) as self-awareness of biases. Contrary to counterintuitive idea metacognitive
self fosters self-regulation
in the area of goal’s attainment. Study 1 (N = 118) showed that high metacognitive self individuals created more clear
mental picture of their plans than low metacognitive self counter partners. Moreover
participants high in metacognitive self undertook more actions to fulfill their
goals then low MCS colleagues. Study 2 (N = 201) revealed that high metacognitive self individuals strive for autonomy
and they work much better to attain their goals in the no load settings, while
low metacognitive students work much better under supervision.
