Here, we have captured the relations defined by
these lists to examine what their relatedness implies
about the meanings of the interconnected concepts.
In other words, we have constructed a network:
we have mapped self-regulation’s definitional web.
To present the results in a way that could then be
used as an intuition pump—a tool for thought to
inform new science, new practice, and new policy
(Dennett, 2013)—we have also used a free and
open-source visualization package to illustrate the
data: Gephi (Bastian, Heymann, & Jacomy, 2009).
