BLOCK & BLOCK

Jack and Jeanne Block’s theory focuses on self-regulation through two dimensions: ego-control and ego-resiliency. Ego-control is the degree to which one inhibits or expresses impulses, while ego-resiliency is the ability to flexibly adjust that control based on the situation. Overcontrollers have high ego-control, appearing cautious and organized but prone to internalizing issues like anxiety or social withdrawal. Undercontrollers have low ego-control, making them impulsive, expressive, and prone to externalizing behaviors like aggression or lack of focus. The most adaptive profile is the resilient individual, who possesses high ego-resiliency; they are not stuck in one mode but can be disciplined when a task requires focus or spontaneous in social settings. Ultimately, this model suggests that psychological health is not defined by a specific level of control, but by the flexibility to navigate life's changing demands effectively.
