作为Higgins自我调节理论体系的重要组成部分，调节模式理论认为自我调节包括运动和评估两种模式，两者分别关注状态的改变和最佳方案的获得。本文分析了两种调节模式的特点并介绍了其测量及诱导方法，概括了调节模式对基本心理现象的影响以及调节匹配效应有关的研究，并对新近进展进行了介绍。未来研究尚可针对调节模式的形成、多元化测量工具及诱发范式的开发、及其对反事实思维等特定心理现象的影响等问题作更深入探讨。

Regulatory Mode Theory is an important part of Higgins’s self-regulation theory system; it holds that self-regulation involves two independent regulatory modes: locomotion mode and assessment mode, locomotion concerns to change the present state, while assessment concerns to get the perfect solution. Based on the characteristics of locomotion and assessment, the paper introduces the measurement of chronic regulatory mode and the activation of situational regulatory mode, and concludes the effect of regulatory mode on basic psychological phenomenon (e.g. motivation/cognitive) and special psychological phenomenon (e.g. inter-temporal choice/ regulatory depletion), as well as the fit effect based on regulatory mode. Future researches could pay attention to the development of regulatory mode, the multiple methods of measurement and activation of regulatory mode, and the effect on the special psychological phenomenon such as counterfactual thinking.
