Quizplus · Accepted Answer

George's thoughts about not having what it takes to understand and remember the material indicate a lack of confidence in his ability to learn (self-efficacy for learning).

Emotion regulation and self-monitoring are not relevant to George's thoughts about his academic abilities.
